I am not making resolutions for 2025! I haven’t done so for several years. Instead, I have some crazy, audacious goals I want to accomplish in 2025, and I’m hitting the ground running now!
My first goal is to get out of bankruptcy. I am on a payment plan with my lawyer and keep him informed about what’s happening. I hope to pay it off during the tax season and rebuild my credit.
The next goal is to gain employment. I have been toiling on the job boards since I resigned, and I love to get something. I finally did get something, and I can begin training after Christmas. Once I can work at least 40 hours a week, I can start saving money and go on vacations.
I also want to get monetized on YouTube. In addition to the job I will start relatively soon, I want to make an extra $1,000 a month. To help me save money, I plan to start a savings challenge in 2025 and eventually open a high-yield savings account.
For my platforms, I plan to post more here and upload more videos on YouTube. I also want to do more shorts and have more articles up. I’m striving to post two videos and two shorts weekly for YouTube. Here, I’m striving for two to three articles a week. I still plan to add more original photography instead of stock photography.
Last but not least, I am writing a book. It’s been a long process of tears, cursing, ripping up the manuscript, and fighting with my friend over specific plot points, but the book is nearing completion. I am shopping for an editor from the Midwest, specifically from Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin, who can read it and tell me what needs to be changed or edited.
Vlogmas Day 7 is live. I’ll see you on Day 8.
