Quarterly Goals for October 2023 Review

Posted on by Petra

It’s time once again to review my quarterly goals and do a quick update for October 2023. And once again, I found there have been changes.

Zina - German Shepherd Rottweiler Mix

Since my June update, we added a new family member, Zina. She is a German Shepherd Rottweiler Mix born in June.

She’s quite the spicy girl and dare devil but I am excited about her coming along with me on my hiking adventures when she’s ready and old enough.

We started to walking a mile on our local trail and so far it’s going well although I think she isn’t quite to sure about it all just yet as she is still pretty skittish at first.

Now onto my health

  • Walk 3 to 6 miles a day – I am currently at 842.54 which means I will achieve over 900 miles this year which is more than the year before and the year before that.
  • Hike every other week – this had to change as I injured my back in early August and ended up going to Physical Therapy for 6 weeks before being cleared to going back to walking. And now that I have Zina, the mountains will have to wait a bit until she’s ready.
  • Change diet – we continue on this trend to be a low-carb family and it’s working well. I am down 15 pounds and while I haven’t lost any more weight I am also not gaining any – I call this progress!

CREATIVITY

Same as before, I haven’t made much progress here because I did have more events this year and needed to maintain the inventory.

  • Make a plan that feels sustainable to do the things below!
  • Create 2 new Wood-Burning Tutorials a month
  • Work on Guitar Cut out Wood-Burning that will be a special gift
  • Use my laser to supplement income as well as for my own creative inspiration
  • Create 2 Crochet Patterns a month
  • Make art that excites me and brings me joy.

FAMILY

This is ongoing as well. There’s a new baby on the way due this month!

  • Get wills done
  • Find a notary for Power of Attorney
  • Spend time with kids and grandkids
  • Go on vacation with chosen family
  • Visit my son and his partner

HOUSE

This is an ongoing process and I don’t have much of an update here.

  • Remove Cedar Tree from front of the house
  • Add shop for wood-working and joint business venture
  • Declutter things we don’t need or use – this is an ongoing process
  • Renovate each room
    • Bathrooms (2)
    • Bedrooms (3)
    • Kitchen
    • Living Room
    • Dining Room
  • Paint House Exterior
  • Clean up property – prep to be rented out
  • Search and find a home with acreage

PHILANTHROPY  

I will have a specific month where I will be donating a % of my art sales. Every card transaction that comes through, a % now goes to a special folder so that at the end of the month, I can then donate.

  • Donate Animal Art to Wildlife Center for Auction
  • Donate to Urea Cycle Foundation
  • Donate to the Trevor Project

MONEY

This is an ongoing process and I don’t have much of an update here.

  • Increase net worth to $X
  • Set up Profit First – continues to be in progress but it has been started
  • Reduce Debt

TRAVEL + ADVENTURES

This is an ongoing process and I don’t have much of an update here.

BUSINESS GOALS

I am going through some changes in business and life as I’ve mentioned above.

Well, this is where we are now with our quarterly goals for October 2023. I will need to take some time to ponder a few things and make a plan and stick to it.

If you have some goals you’d like to achieve and want some help, I have availability on my calendar!
