Goals and Dreams.

We all have goals and dreams that we hope to achieve in life. Some are BIG goals and some are just things in life that we want to do for ourselves, things that may not seem big to everyone else, but it is big to us.

Everyone has a dream of what they want to accomplish by a certain age. It’s usually the age of 25. At least mine was. And I’m almost there. To being 25, not the reaching my goals and dreams part. I’m closer than I was a year ago, but I’m still not there. If I work hard, It is still possible that I reach one of my dreams by the time I turn 25. So I am putting this here so you all can keep me accountable and message me from time to time and see how I’m doing on my dream goals. Sound like a deal!?

So as of right now, I have two months and eight days. That doesn’t seem like much time, but like I said earlier, with a lot of hard work, it is possible.

I have a dream and a goal to pay off my debt by the time I turn 25, or at least 80% of it, if not more! That would be a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. And my husbands. My debt is not the only debt we have, but if I had mine cleared out, I could help more with my husbands debt and not be so stressed about money.

Let’s be real. Probably 75% (or more) of arguments that happen in marriage is about money. Money is necessary for everything. There’s monthly bills like rent, utilities, water, the phone, and whatever else there is. And then when you have other bills like student loans and credit card debt, it’s a bit overwhelming.

Okay, it’s A LOT overwhelming.

I have learned a lot this year. I have learned a lot about myself. I have learned to just be completely honest with others, and myself. Not as in lying to them, but as in my feelings, what I’m struggling with, and to ask for help. I hate to ask for help, but sometimes you need to ask for help. And if the person says no, then that’s fine. We will figure out a way to make things work. God is there with us. He is always there. We don’t rely on Him as much as we should. But He is always there for us, whether we think He is or not.

I’ve posted a lot on my personal facebook and instagram page about a business that I’ve started. I’m sure it’s gotten annoying to some people, and I’m sorry. That is one of the ways that I have chosen to help my family financially. It does work. I have goals and dreams with/for my business. It is direct sales and I know so many people HATE direct sales companies. But honestly, that is where everyone is going nowadays. More often than not, someone you talk to will try to sell you something, whether it’s health and wellness, makeup, or haircare. When you buy from a personal friend, or a friend of a friend, you are helping THAT person! Not some already rich person. We do these direct sales companies to help support our family and to be able to stay home with our children and see our spouses more. That is why we do it. The products may be a little on the expensive side, but they really are amazing products are worth the price!

So many times, we look at something someone is selling to try to help their family, and think I could get something just to help them out, but then they see the prices, and they are like “WHAT?!!? Oh, NO WAY!! That’s too expensive!” and then never give it another look or give their friend a chance to explain the products. Why they are different from other companies, or how they work, and that they really DO work.

If you are on the fence about direct sales companies and their prices, buy when there is a sale! My business has sales a few times a month! It’s great! If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask me!

I have big dreams for my Monat business! If I work hard, I believe that it will help me able to stay home with my family more and not have to worry and stress about money anymore. I didn’t join this business to have something else to do and take the time away from my family. I did this so I CAN spend more time with my family. When I get to where I want to be in the business, I won’t have to set any alarms to get up in the mornings and leave for work. I will be able to stay in bed with my husband a little longer and actually spend the days and weekends with my family. That is my WHY! And maybe, if I get even higher in the company, I will be able to retire my husband from whatever job he is at, at the time, because we won’t need the finances. Unless he really likes his job and wants to stay, that’s different! And that will be fine! But the point would be is that he would NOT HAVE to work. He may even just want to switch to part-time or something. But anyway, he and I will talk about that when we cross that bridge!

So when you purchase from me, you are helping me get a little bit closer to those goals and dreams. I can help you do those same things, spend more time with your family and just not have a regular 9-5 job anymore and be able to go on more trips or whatever it is that you would want to do.

I have been scared about what people think about me practically my entire life. I mean, who isn’t!? Right?! But this past year, I have learned that what God thinks/knows of me is the one that matters. I am trying to hide anything from anyone. I am just trying to help my family be more financially stable. I may post on my personal pages a lot, but that is because I am sharing things that I love! I love my shampoo products! I love my family! So I am going to post about it!

Anyway, this post took a little bit of a different turn than I was planning, but sometimes that happens! Thank you for reading! Have a great day and an even better week!
