Thoughts about this month’s income report:
Looking at everything with fresh eyes shows me where I need to focus! Remember I’m doing this retrospectively. I feel like I have a good handle on content/SEO strategy and I need to just publish at regular intervals but not in any crazy fast way. Instead, I need to dive back into affiliates or products to fix everything that’s not working. My gut feeling is that products is where I need to focus most. Starting with fixing all of my funnels that I haven’t really looked at since I did Elite Blog Academy way back in 2019! It was a whirlwind and then life got crazy in 2020 and hasn’t slowed down since. But I can see clearly now this is where I need to refocus.
Did I Meet my Goals for July?
I don’t believe I had goals for July other than writing posts. And I didn’t do that but that’s okay. It was summer and a difficult year.
At this time in 2021, I was just starting to dig into Project 24 and understanding what I needed to write to rank. I feel like I’m really good at that now!
I also signed up to take a course to be a mortgage broker in July 2021. I finished the course and got the certification in early 2022 but my brother had passed away, and I did not have it in me to start something new. So, I never did do anything with the certification. Gained some knowledge though for my real estate investments in case I ever want to start that up again. I own three rental properties that were purchased over the last 20 years. I’d love to own an Air bnb or a hotel, but I know that’s not really passive income!
I think at this point in 2021, I was also struggling with what my “job” should be. I’ll tell you after the things I’ve been through since then, I no longer feel the need to have a “job”. Passively wealthy is about giving you back your time freedom. Why would I want to lock down my time?
Goals for August:
I did not have goals and I fulfilled those goals! It was a tough year.
