ENTRY THIRTY TWO: What!
We hit the end of the month this week and wow! I am feeling BEYOND grateful. I get that it’s baby steps but for the month of February the total trading income I created was $1,334.29. I am so proud of myself, not in a up myself way just in a genuine proud way. The fact that I was able to make this money on my own terms, with all the freedom and flexibility I have had I am feeling so grateful. It’s funny how the mind works though - yesterday with it being the second day of the month of March I felt myself thinking ‘Oh no, I need to reach my goal of $600 revenue and I still have so far to go’ Like Sam - C’mon it’s the 2nd of March! Did some journalling and realised I’ve just got to trust the process and to continue working on things that are in my control. Have a great week ahead - let’s get into the entry! Email me over on sam@simplestudios.nz if you wanna chat or give me some feedback/ideas!

What I Learnt:
I’ve really got to work on this part of the update - I do learn a lot and also consume a lot of little bits of information that influence the things I do but I struggle to get that across in written form like this for you so I’m going to explore other ways to improve this section of the weekly updates. What do you think?
