February Goal Check

So last month I had two goals, and as we all know, I didn't achieve both of them.  I'm still happy with how things turned out overall though, and March is off to a great start.  The client who had two outstanding invoices paid them on Monday, the Canadian currency issue was resolved today and I have a new invoice out for another $50.  When that one get's paid I'll be roughly 25% of the way to my goal for March, which is pretty excellent considering it's only the the second day of the month.

Here's my pass or fail recap on February's goals.

Why My February Gets Two Thumbs Down

So many things went poorly in February, that I don't even know where to start... I hate making excuses, but I feel like I should explain why I didn't meet my monetary goals (for the first time since I started this blog) to all of you.

There are, quite honestly, a laundry list of reasons - some that are my fault and others that are not... Here it goes:

1. Bad weather (4+ feet of snow) and that meant four snow days with the man of the house home.  In other words there was too much noise, chaos and requests for attention to work effectively.
2. I had my second death in the family this year, both of which were unexpected and it threw me for an emotional loop.
   

February Goals

I'm going to keep my goals for the month short and simple because I feel like I really need to focus on one thing at a time until I can get back into a heavily motivated and productive state of mind.  So without further ado, here are my goals for February!

1. Earn $1000 in spendable cash, after fees.
2. Launch my business site.  I already have the domain, all I need to do is figure out what sort of graphics I want and how I want to design it.  I'm a little jaded at the moment and can't figure out what sort of images (if any) would be best...

Hopefully by narrowing down my goals to two I will be able to put some serious time in on my business site and get it fully operational this month.
