Wow, thank you everyone for the comments about the new theme, site name and direction. I am still making some updates and changes so bare with me over the next few days.
As you already know from my previous post the direction of this site has changed a little. Instead of strictly talking about domain names and the domain world I am going to shed more light on how to make money online. While I learn to make money online I will be sharing those experiences so you can repeat my results, hopefully just the good.
Want to know more about my past, read the who’s cooking page which was just updated.
Goals For 2009
Earn $20,000 a month from virtual real estate by the end of the year. Virtual real estate to me would include domaining, blogs, development, mini-sites, affiliate programs and so forth. Of my goal, at least $5,000 would be from this blog. Yes I said $5,000 from this blog. There are bloggers making $40,000 a month easily. Do me a favor, if you are one of those negative people that think this goal is unobtainable, stop reading now and leave my blog. To be successful you want to surround yourself with successful, like-minded, positive people. If you are a believer and continue to read my site I promise to reward you by learning how to make money online.
Earn $5,000 a month in physical real estate. Honestly this will be a piece of cake, prior to selling my real estate companies seven months ago I was making in excess of seven figures per year. I plan on working a few short sales and take part in some teaching. Two questions I can anticipate being asked is, why am I not doing real estate full time and why only $5,000 a month. Basic answer, I am tired of real estate, bored and burnt out. I plan on spending a max of 10 hours per month (from home) to meet my goal.
Blog at least once per day seven days a week.
Answer emails when I open them. I find myself opening an email and letting it go for a few days. Simple solution, respond immediately.
Unplug! I spend far too much time in front of the computer and not enough time with my family. It is actually pretty sad when you’re having internet withdrawels. The power went out the other night for about an hour or so and all I could think about was getting back on the internet. I think there can be a happy medium to this. I plan on purchasing a laptop shortly, this will allow me to at least be in the same room as my wife and kids while writing an article or researching a project.
I’m not 100% sure on this goal but just maybe loose 10 pounds. I know that sounds girly but for the first time ever I hit the scale and it said over 200 pounds. My kids are running around and saying daddy is 204, blah blah blah. My normal weight has been low 190′s, I think the holiday and getting up there in age (31) is what’s doing it. Plus I can feel the 10 pounds, it doesn’t feel good. Ok enough of that, lol. I’ll have to really think about this goal. I’m sexy the way I am.
Want to read my wife’s goals? Check out her blog, Mominator.com. I am very proud of her, she is doing very good. She even has a pretty strong following in the mom blog world.
nothing wrong with goals……Mine is just $2000 a month and if I can keep that steady then I will push for more by years end. Think I can do it but im fast finding out I need not to be cheap and invest more into marketing and PPC for other vetures im into..Good luck and keep us posted how your goals are coming!
Great goals.. I’m sure you can do it if you put your in enough work and time. Good luck!
Hey Patrick,
It’s good to see that you’ve placed your goals for all the world to see, that way some of us can keep you accountable to them, particularly the one about losing weight
That’s right chef, it’s time to hit that treadmill!
And yes, I’m sure your wife thinks you’re sexy the way you are
Keep up the good work chef.
regards
Guy
Patrick you have some great Goals for 2009!
I hope you achieve them!
You can make $20,000 – It is possible!
Dont listen to anyone that says you CANT – Yes you can!
This is the year of change and 2009 is going to be tough but Im still buying, selling and brokering names – I dont make $20K at present each month but I dont dedicate all my time to the industry only around 3hrs per day.
Realestate is addictive as Im sure you know so good luck with your flipping of real estate!
All the best for 2009!
Regards,
Robbie

This is a damn good post. Takes balls to lay it all out there for the world to keep an eye on. But, hey what better way to make sure that you actually get there, than to let the whole world know where you’re trying to go.
