Maybe I should have included guidelines.
FYI: I was basically homeless 2 years ago, could not get a job to save my life, involved in a very abusive relationship with a manipulator and I was “I don’t wanna live anymore.” depressed. Fast forward 2 years later….listen to me.
Create goal boards. Having a visual representation of your goals viewable increases your chances of accomplishing them.
Stop spending money on bullshit. Ohmygod. You think you’re not but take a good look at your finances. This was the first step to me saving a lot of money.
Why are you only making $9/hr with 8+ years of experience? Does your resume and/or interview skills need work?? Don’t settle just because you didn’t get those first couple of jobs. Partner with temp agencies in your cities. A lot of companies don’t even publicly post jobs anymore.
Don’t be so hard on yourself if you don’t hit every single thing on your goal board. I didn’t hit all my 2017 goals and a few of them came months after my expected completion date!
Groupon and Living Social will make you apart of the elite of traveling.
Move money into an account you have limited access to (direct deposit a certain amount into an account that’s separate from your main checkings or with a different bank altogether.)
Work towards your desired career everyday or at least once a week; write that chapter, create that treatment, record that song, apply for that internship.
Begin to distance yourself from toxic people or confront them all at once and end the relationship.
If you can afford it, SUBSCRIBE to Kindle Unlimited, soooooooooo many books that will help you get your shit together.
Create mini weekly goals; I recommend doing 3 mini goals a week (example: no sugar this week, write for 10 minutes a day, apply to 3 jobs) These are very attainable and give you a sense of accomplishment.
Bill Autopay. I know this is a big one but you’re closer than you think. Do you pay for Spotify or Hulu monthly?? What about Apple Music or Netflix? Look at you already having one or two monthly payments getting drafted automatically 😎 I recommend choosing the one bill that does not change and making that your first official autopay bill!
