@financial analysis: I'm right there with you - I'm doing it - not enough of it - but I'm trying!

arning nearly $0.03 per day, I have some dividend-and-interest-producing investments, and I have started submitting a few freelance articles here and there. I just need to increase the intensity of all of these actions!

Good luck with your goals! I wrote a bunch of goals down in 2007 and nearly manifested all of them. It truly works when you wrap your mind around your dreams and follow them with intensity.

I sincerely wish you luck in your endeavor.
We're trying to make an extra (although not entirely passive) $20,000-$35,000 in 1 year, working on a rehab/resell. Unfortunately it's already required about 2.5 months of my own personal time to get the house ready for inspection (not counting all the other folks time). :(

Awesome goal! Don't give up and you may find yourself making enough to make a full time living. If you need help monetizing your blog, I can help.. just email :)

Keep up the good work.

I want to break into freelance writing as well. Do you have any recommendations on where to find clients?
I’m currently working on post-grad debt, so anything I can find to help me save money is great.
I’m blogging my “adventures,” too; here: http://shauna26.wordpress.com/

I'm a huge fan of the picture...and the unsuspecting bunny...

Good luck with your goal!

Thanks for the pointer to the contest, and for providing a great example of SMART goal.

I'm not sure I can continue to associate with anyone whose RIGHT side is purple. That's just weird, man. Purple Lefties all the way.

Alternative income is so much fun---in that there's so many possibilities! Good luck with your resolution. :)

I'm also excited about this new carnival. I hope, among other things, to make monthly updates for it where I cover my whole year goal as well as my monthly goals!

@Mike: Yeah, that's what I was thinking! That thing looks NOTHING like me - my RIGHT side is purple.

@Ruth: I hadn't really thought of the speaker idea, but that's another good one to put in my list of ideas - thanks!

If you could become a speaker (inspirational? financial?) with a speakers bureau, then you could start getting alternative income that way. Good luck with your very ambitious goals!

Bubelah - if that thing looks like Steve to you then I'm guessing he must have a great personality?? :)

Funny that guinness416 asked about picture. I had the same question and the first thought that came to my mind is that this is Steve and he is trying to grab his goal with his big hands, metaphorically.

That picture has, in fact, nothing to do with anything. I was looking for pictures tagged "goals" or "resolution" or "determination" etc. and for some reason this one came up, and I liked it. Think of it as a Friday pick-me-up :)

guinness416 — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 09:12:34 -0000

Not to detract from your goal, very ambitious, but what the hell is that thing a picture of? It looked like a partially plucked chicken when I first saw it.

Great goal, Steve! When you find a few more ways to get some alternative income, let me know!

Actually, finding a few sources of alternative income is something I am trying to do, but isn't the my main financial goal for 2008 - learning more about investing is. But doing this surely can't hurt! ;)

Good luck achieving your goal!
