What does the new financial year have in store for you?
June 30th 2007 00:39
It’s almost the beginning of a new financial year here in Australia so …
I have decided to break with tradition this year and make a few New Financial Year resolutions since I didn’t make any on New Year’s Eve …
… what do you mean, that’s not normal?
Honestly, some people really need to start thinking outside the square.
Anyway, back to the resolutions. Financial year resolutions don’t have to be specifically targeted towards finances, money, getting rich etc etc etc, they can basically be anything you desire (although, I guess a link with finances of some kind would probably be appropriate if not necessary).
Okay, so here goes. These are some of my New Financial Year resolutions for the 2007-2008 financial year.
1. To devote more time to my blog
I thought I’d better put this one in and say it quickly, loudly and decisively, just in case the powers-that-be decide to take my domain name away and give it to someone else. I know I’ve been neglecting it recently (blame that on the baby) my time management skills have been pretty crap since the birth of Mac. Maybe with a few more regular posts my revenue from Adsense might grow a little faster. (Yeah, right … and wee little piggies might take to the skies).
I can always dream.
2. To get my well-padded backside in gear and start sending off my most recent novel to agents
Currently known as Kate’s Story (yes, I know, not a terribly original title … needs a bit of work), I need to knuckle down and do some editing then get it doing the rounds of people that matter. Fingers and toes are definitely crossed for this one.
3. To stop being such a slack arse and start writing articles for magazines, newspapers and anyone else who will listen to me
I must admit, I’ve been putting this off because of my pregnancy and the birth of Mac but it’s time I got back into it. I know, I know, I can’t blame everything on the baby; it’s like blaming the dog for farting … you blame the only one who can’t defend themselves. This’d be a real boost to both our finances and my confidence as a writer if I could get a few freelance articles published.
4. To get back in shape after the birth of Mac
Yes, once more I’m blaming the baby, this time for my slightly rotund appearance. Nothing financial in this one … I told you they didn’t have to all involve money.
5. To have enough financial security to spend more time with my husband and children
Goes without saying, really.
6. To have a seamless and painless move from Victoria to Queensland
We’re moving in a few weeks with a truck full of belongings to settle up in the Gold Coast Hinterland. I can’t wait but I just hope all goes smoothly.
Okay, that’s just a few of my New Financial Year resolutions for this new tax year. I thought that if I write them down and share them I’d be more inclined to try to make them happen. The complacency has to end!!!
Wish me luck and if anyone out there has some resolutions of your own, why not share.
Happy New Financial Year everyone!!!!!
