1. Cancel the second recurring payment. 50% done. I called the company and got the paperwork to cancel, but there is financial incentive to pay until mid-September (we are eligible for a refund if we pay 2 more months). Cancellation will go into effect October 1.
2. Make $200 in side income from any source. 38% success. I earned $76 pet sitting after expenses.
3. Talk to University about their off-campus housing directory (for our room to rent). Done! We are listed on their directory now.
4. Start studying for my Nutrition Certification (the books arrived yesterday). Done – I’m half way through my course books.
5. Try to keep our trip to Wisconsin to about $1,500 including hotels, gas and food for 5 people. (We have this amount available without incurring more debt). SUCCESS!! We came in at about $1,400.

I still need to sell some stuff on Kijiji (a goal left over from June), but really, I’m happy with how July turned out. I would have liked to make a little more on side income, but $76 is better than nothing.

August goals:

1. Apply for at least 5 new jobs (as I don’t think I’ll be able to accept the one I expect to be offered).
2. Make $200 in side income – from any type of hustle!
3. Set up priority chart for side hustles.
4. Finish studying for my Nutrition Certification and develop initial marketing plan.
5. Spend 10 hours working on blog improvements – this does not mean writing posts. This is 10 hours of SEO, marketing, design work/social media promotion with Andrea, and working through the information in HIMMB.

I don’t love my third goal – it seems to vague to me, but I don’t know how to better phrase it. For now, it will do. Those are my August goals.
