It the first day of the new year. I’m excited. I’m going to be tracking everything. My main goal this year is to strengthen my financial life. That’s it. One goal. Focused intensely.

This morning I got up at 6:00 a.m. I’m documenting my day as I don’t know how to plan or put my all of my activities ahead of a week. I’ve sorta proritized my activites based on my goals. Over the weekend, I filled out a few part-time jobs applications online to AMC theatres, Target, EZLinks, and Whole Foods. My goal is to increase my income at night until I’ve built up my Forex account. A real job at this point will take priortity above my home business Send Out Cards.

I’ve posted a few ads on Craigslist offering my services as a event photographer, cleaning man, extra helper. I had one person email me about cleaning a closet in Roger’s Park. I emailed her back saying that I was availible but she didn’t respond. I think I’ll put some more ads up today.

I had my first mastermind meeting with Manuel on Saturday. It went great; it lasted three hours. My goal for this week is to have made a 50 pip gain in the EUR/USD. I gained 16.8 pips yesterday. I’m waiting for the ISM Manufacturing PMI report to come out at 9:00 a.m. I plan on picking up a few extra pips.

Sunday, I cooked garlic chicken. I got the receipe from Food Wishes blog. The only negative feedback was that it didn’t have enough salt to enhance  the flavors.
