Blogging Goals

  • Continue providing deals and money-saving ideas here and via Twitter. DONE
  • Continue growing traffic by 15-20% per month FAIL
  • Grow subscribers to 2,500 by December 31, 2009 – Subscribe FAIL
  • Double the monthly blog income by December 31, 2009 through diverse sources FAIL

Personal Goals

  • Sleep more (odd thing to say for a guy who’s about to become a Dad) FAIL
  • Spend more time with family and friends EVEN
  • Develop better time management skills (write faster) FAIL
  • Learn to converse in Spanish FAIL

The personal goals are a bit generic, but they’ll have to do. Also, could someone please loan me a couple of extra hours each day? That would really help. :)

I also had blogged about my personal financial goals and wish list for this year 2009. I hope that we could all achieve our own goals and really hoping for the better this year 2009.

@JFunk - yeah, I don't think the wife would like me blaring Spanish lesson during the night. Guess I could wear earphones.

@J - Looking forward to hearing about your home purchase. Sounds like a neat investment too.

@Studenomics - Yeah, gotta set the bar high. We'll see where I land when it's all said and done. I'm sure life will throw some kinks in the plan, but it might also throw us a bone.

Some ambitious goals you have set for yourself. The learning to converse in Spanish is something that I have been thinking about for many years. I have learned a little bit but not enough to have a full out conversation.

Gotta buy a house so I can stop living at work, literally. Specifically a 2-family; when the other half is rented, it will just about take care of the mortgage payment.
Stretch goal: get certified in financial management...something I already do for work, but get grossly underpaid for.

Happy New Year!

Nice list PT. I'm with you on the sleep and Spanish. Maybe if I multi-task with osmosis, I can kill 2 birds w/1 stone!
