2024-2025 Goals

“Wing it” as long as I remember that is what most of my life has been. 2024-2025 is the first year where I have actually sat down and wrote some goals. I have made a list of all the goals I want to achieve in what  I have left to live. I have compiled a list 12 goals for 2024-2025, which will be broken down in 12 week increments. Most of the income goals are online, mainly because I’ve never tried them, so I figure I start there and hopefully get enough income to invest in brick and mortar businesses which is my ultimate goal. If you have achieved these goals, know someone that has or even going through them as well, please send me an email and see if we can help each other achieve them. Any help is greatly appreciated!
