A milestone reached.
Some people make a goal of being a millionaire by the age of 35, 40, 55 … and so on.
Three years ago, I decided I wanted to make $40,000 a year.
In January, I reached that goal — I got a new job with a 17% raise, an additional $417.00 per month. My new pay rate plus my rental income puts me over just over $41k.
Guess it's time to set a new goal…

GOOD FOR YOU! That’s great! A little under 2 years ago I made the decision to make $60k a year. I thought it would take me 3 years of work and classes to achieve that. All it took was a job change and a new employer to get that job with the skills I already had!
Goal setting is important. It keeps your career moving right along!

Thanks, mapgirl!

Amazing, isn’t it? Of course, setting incremental goals which are attainable also helps, too…
