Did you see my big goals for May? Vacation kept me from getting very far on my goals over the last two weeks….

1. Pay $500 a month on our HELOC. Money is slowly coming in from various VA/TA avenues, but I haven’t caught up on post-vacation financial records to know how much has come in this month. I welcomed 3 new WordPress maintenance clients to my business in the last month!
2. Find an “SOAP” all of the verses in the Bible using the word “perfect.” I was hoping to do a lot of this on vacation. I did a lot more napping than study…
3. Design the branding for my virtual and technical assistance services and distribute a button for my clients to display. I have some ideas worked up. Now to start putting it on the screen!

Goals and accountability are crucial to success. What are your goals this month and who are you allowing to keep you accountable?

March.  2012 has been such a crazy and exciting year so far.  March is going to be no different for us.  I’m finishing things up for the launch of Finding Joy in Depression and then I head out to Teach Them Diligently and Apologia Live.

Here’s what I’m focusing on for March:

• Stay consistent with my Bible reading.  All that busyness means I need a little extra focus this month.  There were times in February when I fell a couple of days behind and I want to keep that from happening in March.  I want to be more proactive – if I know I have a busy day coming, I want to read in advance instead of putting it off a day.
• Prepare for next book club.  We’re going to be reading Shepherding a Child’s Heart here at The Pelsers in April and May. I need to get everything set up for that – schedule, free printable, Facebook group, mailing list, etc.
• Pay off Josh’s student loan.  I shared last month that we needed an extra $500/mo in order to pay off his loan this year.  We had an unexpected boost to our fund last month that I’ll share about soon.  We’re now so close to paying off Josh’s student loan that we can taste it!  I want to work hard this month finding ways to bring in extra income so we can meet the goals of paying off Josh’s student loan by May 8 – that’s Josh’s birthday.
