Back at It
After several years off I'm posting a blog. Many of you may know that I maintain a full time Vlog(video blog) called Your Daily Duty's. I spend a lot of time on the videos and I let blogging here fall by the wayside. I do enjoy the written word in addition to video so I'm recommitting to this blog.
To start back up I want to set some goals. I've already shared some of these goals on my vlog, but it is a lot easier to organize my thoughts in writing.
2016 Goals
- Run a marathon in less than 4 hours
- Pay off my car
- 1 month challenges
Long Term Goals
- Pay off all my debts: car, student loan, house, etc.
- Live financially free
- Travel: RV/Sailboat
- Provide free counseling
Some of these goals require a little explanation. Starting from the top. The first two are self explanatory but the third is a little different. I have an additional youtube channel called 1 month challenge. It is all about doing something for 30 days and seeing what kind of results you get. Right now I'm in the middle of trying to learn a song on the piano. I have no previous piano experience so it is a little tricky. My month is over and I just about have the song learned. Next month I'm planning on either going on 1 hike every day or possibly something else, I'm open to suggestions.
Next up is paying off my debts and living financially free. My paycheck every month would go more than twice as far if I didn't have any loans to pay on. All I would have to pay is utilities, food and taxes. Being debt free brings a lot of freedom. I hope to create enough passive income to free me up so I can work on the things I really enjoy. You may notice most of these goals connect.
Passive income is any money made without having to really do anything. A rental property that has positive cash flow after the mortgage is paid is an example of passive income. I hope to create more passive income and grow my youtube channel enough to provide an income fro my family. Which leads me to my next goal.
Providing free counseling is a huge one. In order to do that I need to be able to provide fro my family in other ways. Many people neglect their mental health needs because they can't afford it of they don't see it as a necessity. I know first hand that it very much is a necessity and I want to take away the excuse of cost.
I think it would be really cool to travel around in a RV meeting with people, providing free counseling and getting a chance to see there world while were at it. Likely, most sessions would be via video chat but meeting face to face is also valuable.
I'm still in the early stages of these goals and I have a lot of things to work out. Posting them here makes me more accountable. I'll post more on how I intend to achieve each goal.
Its good to be back and I hope you stick with me. Be sure to check out our youtube channel: youtube.com/zachattackduty
