Personal

Bet Fit. I blogged about this today actually. I set a goal to weigh 220 by March 1st. I will do this by exercising more and eating smaller portions. No drastic food changes unless I’m not making progress.

Learn. The average millionaire reads one non-fiction book per month. I think I’ve been doing this for the past two years (with audiobooks) but I don’t know for sure because I haven’t been keeping track. This year I’m going to keep track. I will tweet the title of the book I am going to read and then blog about it after I finish.

Grow. I used to have a calling I coveted – stake sports director. I never have served in that calling. I have a new calling I covet – Mission President. I understand I may not ever be called to this position. Besides the fact that I’m not there spiritually, I don’t have the financial resources and we have medical issues in our family. What I can affect the most is my spirituality. That’s what I want to work on. I will start with daily personally study.

Financial Peace. There was a point in our married life where we had over $40,000 in consumer debt. Most of that was because of cars. We spent a few years getting out of that mess. Now I see us creeping back into it. Currently we owe 10,900 to my in-laws (down from 18,000). I will soon be putting $5,000 on a credit card to pay for my cancer medicine. We float about $3,000 per month on credit cads. That puts us close to $20,000 in debt at this point! I will find a way to be debt free except for our house by the end of 2013.

Family
Daily Scripture Study and Prayer. I need to make this a habit in our family. It is my responsibility to see that it happens every night. Not doing it is just lazy on my part. I won’t be lazy.

Professional
Be a Linchpin. I want to work so hard and be so productive that I am a key player in my company’s success. I will take more risks and start new things. I will take initiative. I will be myself instead of trying to “fit in”. I bring a lot of talents to the table and I will use them all.

Work for Myself. I have a been a good employee for Neutron, now I need to be a better employee for myself. I need to get EnvelopeBudget.com released ASAP and spend time working on it. I will do at least one thing for my business at least 5 days out of the week in 2013. I will not take on any new freelance clients or projects this year.
