My vision is to buy a home in Long Beach area or North Orange County by February of 2022. 

One step includes the $99-8 home counseling classes. I want to complete this by January of 2022. 

Simultaneously, I want to pay off my credit card debt by June 2022. If I get a steady job, then I may be able to pay this pff sooner.

I also need to save money for a downpayment. My mom and I have been working on this (but I also need to pay my debt off which is causing me a hurdle to do both). If together we can save at least $20,000, I think we should be good for now.

Gain 2 more partnerships this month - 1 with SFW and 1 with Narrative ink. From there, one partnership/collaboration a month.

3. Manifesting opportunity with Women of color healing retreat (I always get notifications that they are accepting facilitators, but my imposter syndrome and procrastination was holding me back)  
4. Get licensed by summer 2022, and then work on integrating private practice within SoulFree Wellness - leave LBD  by the fall of 2022, no later than the end of 2022. 
5. Increase rate for workshops to 2,500 - 3,500 for the rest of this year, and need to revisit based on brand. Bigger brands will be 3,500- 4,000; smaller orgs  can be 2,500+. 
6. Advocate for "series" of workshops- like the reclaiming wellness series (3 part sessions: aim for $10,000 for entire series). 
7. Start collecting testimonials and put them on website (ex. CB4A, Ingenio, UNH) 
8. Create flyers to promote series (reclaiming wellness series, racial equity series) and send to networks, IG, etc. - reach out to friends and send flyers to them to help promote and spread work 
9. Connect with Natanya Bravo for one on one  (next month - October) to talk about promotion/building brand)

2) Checking-in next week with Dr. El-Amin and Becca about longer term E&O work for this year. I'm gonna ask about a part-time role and see if we can make that happen. Or at least long-term RA work. 10 hours a week is like $1,368 a month which is low but can go towards my credit card debt.

3) Want to secure a NYC DOE contract and LA Unified Contract for longer term PD, consulting, research, or curriculum development work. I saw a solicitation for NYC but haven't looked at it deeply.

4) Need to register for SBA and Minority Women Business. I had started this process and left it. 

5) Need to add passive income to my work. A business of some sort/a product? Add this to my website? 

6) Need to secure a part-time contractual job. 

7) Want to update my resume and my website. 

8) Add org change work towards anti-oppressive practices to my work/website and offerings.

Know my worth, what I deserve, what I need, what I want
-going to therapy for this

Work on the areas I know I still struggle with

-making assumptions -more aware
-being bratty/childish when I can just speak my mind, say what I want/need/deserve, be direct and honest 
-don't demean others -working on that
-work on never saying the worst thing that can come out my mouth 
-emotional co-dependency 
-expecting too much from my partner/balance 
-slowing down the process -yes
