What books I'm reading: I’m usually reading two books at a time. one physical book at home and one audiobook while at work (I clean up pens after goats. It takes about 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours every other day.) For the physical book, I’m reading The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller. For the audiobook, I’m listening to Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki.
What I’m learning: I’m learning how important it is to define your goals. In Cashflow Quadrant Robert writes about how some people want a stable job that will provide benefits and a consistent paycheck. Other people are more comfortable with risk and want to be responsible for their own finances. There is no "right answer". Every decision you make should be in alignment with your personal goals.
what I’m thinking about: recently I have become a huge fan of Alex Hormozi on YouTube. One of his recent videos talks about how to live like you are broke. I started tracking all income and expenses on a spreadsheet and I’m thinking about how to increase income while decreasing expenses.
what I’m doing: Dec 12th working on publishing my book. writing the copyright page was very frustrating. I would start researching one question I had and 3 more would pop up. It was like battling a hydra. I won’t say I beat the hydra. It’s still my first time doing anything like this, but I'm much less stressed than before. The LCCN and ISBN numbers came for my book, so just waiting for everything to be formatted, then I will be able to submit the book to kdp for publishing!

Thanks for reading. See you next week!
