Every January, the New Year goals lists look about the same. Eat healthier. Go to the gym. Drink more water.
Great! Those are good goals, and a few of them made my list too.
But when you want to earn your own money from home, those lists skip waaaay too much. Where are the money goals? The side income goals? The goals that turn a spare corner into a home office you love working in?
Sooooo I made the list I wish I'd had.
Honestly, I don't go too crazy with my New Year goals. I pick things I can really get done. And don't tell anybody...but I wait until a few days after January 1 to set mine! (I like to let the holiday dust settle first.)
That's how this whole list works. Every goal is something you can start in January and finish by December, even with a full schedule.

Most goal lists cover health and maybe a little self-care. They leave out the areas that change your bank account and your days at home.
When you want income of your own, a few more categories deserve a spot:
- Money: saving, paying down debt, tracking what comes in.
- Side income: picking one way to earn and giving it a real try.
- Business skills: the things you learn this year that pay you for years.
- Home office: a space that makes it easy to sit down and work.
- Routines: how you protect small pockets of time.
- Family and home: keeping everyone on the same page.
Pick goals from more than one area. That way your year moves forward in more than one direction.
Wait, where are my manners? Let me introduce myself...
Hey there, I'm Christine, the gal behind Income Success Strategies! I used to wonder if earning money from home was possible for everyday women with full, busy days. It is! So I created this blog to share the simple, honest steps I learned the hard way.
Here's where I'd point you next:

How to Pick New Year Goals You Can Really Reach
Before you grab ideas from the list below, here's how I'd choose.
Pick 3 to 5 goals total
Ten goals sounds exciting on January 1. By February it's a lot. Choose a handful and give each one your full attention.
Make each goal specific
"Save more money" is hard to measure. "Save $500 by June" tells you exactly when you've done it. My post on why SMART goals are trending with women who want to earn more walks through this step by step.
Match goals to the time you have
If you've got 20 minutes a day, choose goals that fit 20 minutes a day. A goal that fits your schedule is a goal you'll keep.
Give every goal a first step
A goal with no first step tends to sit on the list all year. So next to each goal, jot the very first thing you'll do in January.
For "start a blog", that might be picking a name. For "save $500", it might be opening a savings account. Tiny steps get you moving fast.
Want the full process? Here's how to do goal setting the right way and see results.
