As the end of the first month of the year approaches, I sit here wondering what my goals are. I have a lot going on right now and have been wondering what I want to accomplish this year.

I lost my job back in December. I am the sole provider for my family. My husband is a stay at home dad taking care of our 18 month old daughter. He broke his back in a car accident about 10 years ago. Since then he has had 7 surgeries, 4 of which were spinal fusions. Needless to say, he can not work. So, goal number one for me is to find a job. However, with this economy, who knows how long it will take to find a job or how long that job will last. It would be nice to have some financial stability.

This brings me to goal number two. Through the years I have done things online to make extra money. Unfortunately, it has never been steady income. So goal number two is to create a steady stream of income with my online ventures.

So that brings me to goal number three. I truly believe in baby steps. They are the stepping stones to something much greater.  With that said, my initial goal is to make $500 per month. Now this may not seem like much to some, but it is a good chunk of change for me. The trick is that this has to be steady income. 

Obviously I would love to make the kind of money that John Chow and Shoemoney make but I believe that we all have to start somewhere. Setting smaller and more realistic goals will make it easier to achieve more. Once a goal has been met, I will be setting higher goals. Who knows, maybe someday goal number one will be replaced by goals two and three?

I have started Money Is Everywhere so that I can write about the different methods of making money online that I use. I hope that by writing about it here, I can give some insight to others who may be interested in making money online.
