As for theses two: "9. Manage my time better. When it’s 5:pm and I have only earned $44 but have been at the computer all day I know I’m doing something wrong. Being more conscious of time suckers will result in fewer nights at the computer until (and past) midnight. I’ve gotten away from setting a schedule and need to do more of that. 10. Start taking most weekends off. I generally work almost every day. One of my goals for being self-employed was to have more time for my family so in the next year, I’m hoping that my marketing and passive income efforts, along with some personal goals will allow me to do that." I couldn't agree more. It is so easy when one is self employed (particularly when it is online) to get a bit obsessive. Lines start blurring, and you can be "working" constantly. Getting sucked into low yield activities online, resulting in low results financially. Answer is better time management - dare I say it! All the best. Great set of goals. As for theses two:
