It would be an understatement to say that 2020 was bad year. With many people losing their jobs and so many getting sick and dying from the COVID-19 virus there was really not much that could be done but wait and see as the world fall all around us.  

To make up for setbacks that I had experienced in 2020 I felt that I needed to make a road map to not only show me where I need to drive from but also, to see where my rest stops will be and where the destinations will end until a new trip begins. 

This whole plan came from the idea of saving more money so that I will be able to weather hard times.  

I found a 10K saving goal/challenge that has different saving amounts once a week for 52 weeks. After some time, a lightbulb went off and I thought why don’t I use the money that I’m saving to invest? After that another lightbulb went off and I thought why don’t I write about each investment I make?

 I learned that to keep goals its best to tie them to bigger/grander goals that way you are just focusing on the bigger goal not the smaller ones which will make those first step goals as I like to call them easier to reach.  

This is how that looks: 

The thought process behind this is each set leads to the next and you keep going forward relying on what you have done and continue to do from your past. 

To grow that map even further I have tied those ideas and goals into a bigger plan. 

If I keep up each week with my goals, I will have 52 blog posts. Which I’m hoping will increase my blogs traffic to the point where I make some income from it. I will be using this income for another stock buy, which will allow me to have another topic to write more posts. These new posts will help bring more traffic to my blog and give each post more views which should add to an increase in income. This is where the map starts to move into a circle whereas to continue to move forward you have to repeat the frame work that you have already laid for yourself.  

After some work I hope to reach my main goal allowing me to quit the job I currently have and use this blog and my stock account to provide me with the income that I need to lead the life that I want to live.  

As always, have a great day and keep learning and moving towards your goals, never stop pushing!
