The Pelsers

A Shelter for the Heart

By Amanda Pelser

May Goals Update – 5/25

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure statement here.

Here's my weekly update on my big goals for May

  1. Pay $500 a month on our HELOC. Quickbooks and I broke up. We had the whole “it's me, not you” talk and split up. It was too much time and work for the amount of extra income I'm bringing in right now. I moved to combination of Freshbooks and Outright. Much easier so far. That means that I finally did my bookkeeping for the month!

    Here's what my progress looks like:
    Budgeted payment: $185
    Amanda's available income: $251.31
    Total for the month to date is $436.31. When my invoices for this week are paid, we should meet our $500 goal for May!

  2. Find an “SOAP” all of the verses in the Bible using the word “perfect.” No progress. I'm really into the Proverbs 31 study and any extra time this past week has gone into the MomComm Content Brew ecourse (highly recommend it for those of you who are bloggers) that I took and to clients.
  3. Design the branding for my virtual and technical assistance services and distribute a button for my clients to display. No progress. See above excuse.

Maybe I made my goals a little tough considering our travel and vacation at the beginning of the month. One more week. I might be able to gain some ground on #2 and #3. We'll see. Goals and accountability are crucial to success. What are your goals this month and who are you allowing to keep you accountable?
