Grrrrr.... Have I ever mentioned I hate the timeout feature on this site? I had typed this all up but took too long apparently and the site timed out and wiped it all out. Soooo annoying. So this time I am copying and pasting before I hit submit.
With 2014 winding down, I wanted to come back and update my progress on my goals. I didn't make all of them, but I have been DARN productive and got a lot accomplished this year. I think I actually would have accomplished more if I had come back to update this thread regularly during the year. This has helped previously and I think it would have helped to keep me on track. Something to remember for next year.
My goal last year was to make an average of $500 per month in extra income. I'm happy to say I actually more than doubled that amount this past year.
I led CAP and/or OM study groups (both 16 week long full study groups and 6 week long exam cram intensive review sessions). I also have been holding Advanced Techniques webinars and did some speaking engagements.
I didn't submit an article to publish. Guess I'll need to do two next year to make up for it.
I also didn't get my kindle materials written, but that is DEFINITELY on my list to get done still.
I didn't do a crafting project each month. One of my bigger goals for 2015 will be getting my crafting room set up. I'm taking over a spare bedroom.
I also didn't finish the garage, but I'm off this week, so I might work on that before year end.
I did do a LOT of canning.
