Every now and again I feel it’s vital to recite my goals and put them all out there for the world to see. That way I can use the goad of the probable humiliation involved in failing to reach these goals to keep myself slogging through the jumbled muck of all the voices in my head.

Been a long time since I first started on this journey and I’ve still got miles to go but my immediate list of goals is short and simple.

… Profit?

Really it wouldn’t take much for me to consider this a ‘profitable’ year but lets set the bar high and say a profit big enough for me to report on my taxes.
