Budgeting January

Note that cash is around $5k @ end of December, INCLUDING savings ($4k checking).

That means with a 2k loss in Jan. I'll be down to 2k in checking by Feb.  And without commission, I'll be broke by April, according to 2016 spending trends.

That means 2017 needs to start with some huge budgetary spending cuts.  Realistically I need to lower spending by $1000.

In business / INTEG subscriptions I can save $150.

In shopping and fast food, I can save another $200.

Restaurants, I can save $100.

Tax exemption payoff $200.

Chris cash out $100.

That still leaves me $250 short, not accounting for other spending.  Need to find it somewhere.  And that's just to save $1000... I'll still be losing, this is a minimum and includes all the excess spending not even on the balance sheet.

THE INTERIM

December 24th - January 14: The INTERIM: Period between the Power Thinking challenges and the Consistent Discipline challenges.

Jan 15 - Mar 31: Q1 75 DC: Consistent Discipline Challenge 1.  Set goals you can hit, so challenge #2 can build upon those goals.  Only give HALF on Sundays, assuming the other half will be for snowboarding.

Now, today's goal: Bills & Budget :)

Q4 2016 PTC Day 66

PLAN:
meditation 5:20 - 5:30.  Obj.1.2 - Slides: 5:30 - 6:30 (1/3)

ACTUAL:
05:30 - 06:30: Obj.1.2 (1/3)

(yes, meditation was achieved.)

Slides -- Theory From Before:

http://entrepreneurisback.blogspot.com/2016/10/q4-2016-ptc-day-24.html

and the online software i tested waaaassss....

Animoto!!  Of course.

Pro. V. BOUGHT.  So I have to complete objective 1.2 BEFORE MOVING ON TO ANYTHING ELSE, and before December is up (or I'm out $40.)

Choices:

Music: 

-Want calm or background (almost unnoticable), yet fast / energetic / attention catching and sounds nice for anyone.  

-Categories that work: Travel, Calm

-Categories that are REQUIRED: fast, instrumental

Songs: 

Essence: perfect, yet short. but too down tempo // SAD

Sunrise: inspiring like INNOVATING MYSTERIOUS, but too mellow dramatic

Little Monkey: catchy upbeat, maybe too gay / optimistic and therefore says this is just another mainstream marketing thing

• It's Alright: inspiring like THERE'S A FUTURE HERE, pretty passive too maybe not enough but i really like it.  Gets a little too dramatic
  
• Sunset (Instrumental): More what i was talking about.  background, non-invasive
  
• Humans Being Humans: Again, this is what im talking about

At this point, I need to TEST the songs against the slides.  So up next, the text and design.
