Now that the year is quickly coming to an end, what can I do to ready myself and my business for an even more successful and profitable 2005?

Well, I calculated a number. It’s the amount I want to NET by the end of 2005. And although most of my ‘dream-come-true’ scenarios are not money-related, a few are. (There, I admit it. I want material things.) These are items I will acquire with funds I will begin to put aside in 2005.

One of them being the $50K+ Infinity FX45. Al’s eyes have been sliding all over them for quite a while now…

For those of you who don’t know, Al is my husband. He’s the most wonderful manly-man ever to walk this earth, and is programmed to take care of his wife and children. So, naturally, he wants to buy his own truck. But, I begged him to let me have it my way (again) and begin saving for it in January with profits from my business.

I’m sure many of you can relate… it’s much more motivating and rewarding to work hard and earn money to buy a gift for someone you love. So, this is just PERFECT for me! I’ll need at least $25,000 to use as a down payment and to keep my monthly payments as low as possible.

Anyway, I took that ‘big’ year-end number, divided it by 12 (months), then 4 (weeks), then 7 (days)… and also by 365 (days in a year), to calculate how much I need to earn daily, weekly, and monthly to reach my goal.

It’s much easier to work backwards like this, instead of going forward and not having a clear and definite goal (aside from, “I want to make at least $150,000 by December!”).

Now I’m off to enjoy my vacation before I begin kicking some Internet booty!!
