A more realistic target

So, after all the histrionics, fear and worry that accompanied my blog posts last year - what did I achieve in relation to my £60k target?

Nowt, zilch, zip.

Which is a bit embarrassing really considering how boldly I set out when I first set myself the challenge!

And, in case you didn't realise, here again are just some of the reasons why I am a foolish girl:
  • At the aged of 11, I went down a very fragile slide which had been hardened by the sun and was very brittle. I was way too big for said slide, and half way down fell right through the middle, bottom first, much to the mirth of everyone watching.

  • I once took out a loan of £5,000 to attend a 'Making Money Through Direct Mail' two day course, and after finishing the course, then promptly did nothing about it.

  • For 6 months, I believed that my boyfriend was working and 'couldn't get a bank account because of his poor credit rating', when all he was doing was sitting at home playing computer games, spending my money and smoking weed.
  • I once tried to open a cutlery drawer whilst holding a plate of spaghetti bolognese in the same hand.

So now, a year on, I'm still in the position of really needing to make some money, quite urgently in fact. Although this time, the job's going great (still the same job as before - working on a music festival) and I'm really confident about how much money I can bring in for the company this year.

But, as far as I'm concerned, my salary is still way too low, I'm in a bit of a financial hole, and I need to start making money ASAP. By the end of the week. Otherwise there's no way I can pay my large gas or council tax bills, which didn't seem like much of a priority when I was farting about in Portugal and Sicily, but which are staring at me angrily in the face now.

But £60k, or even £20k or £5k up front now seems a bit daft considering I'm pretty new to all of this.

So what I have decided, is that I'm going to set myself the challenge of making £100 per day.

And the methods I use and the amounts I make will be posted online every day. So that anyone can see, how even a foolish girl like me, who is totally under the thumb of her boss and working silly hours, and likes to go out and about far too much - can still earn a decent amount online.

There it is - the challenge. And if I don't fulfill it this time, then I am an idiot.
