Planning My Actions And Actioning Plans

Blog: Frustrated Businessman

Well, my new goals list is written out and I’m working to sort my life –and finances – out, starting off slow and trundling along.

We've had a phone call today from the new mortgage company saying that everything's gone through OK and the new loan will be cleared tomorrow, hopefully. So I'll give the present lenders the courtesy of one more phone call, each, when the approval comes through and see if they're willing to work with me. If not, we'll complete with the new company.

I'm still planning on clearing the mortgage down as soon as I can - I definitely want to be clear of all the crappy liabilities like this when I'm 50, but, realistically speaking, I think this has set me back by another 3 years. Time will tell. If I'm not clear until I'm 53, so be it.

But it won't be through the want of trying. I'll still aim to pay £1000 monthly to the mortgage, but save the difference in a high deposit account. Or invest it to make more money through the business.

Talking of the business, I've just opened an eBay account, and I'll be using this alongside my "proper" web site for stock clearance. My car boot plans are going on OK, I spent all day yesterday photographing stuff for both the web site and eBay. I'm hoping to do my first car boot this Sunday IF I can swing things around fast enough - and sort out some more stuff. So I'll be clearing both new and used stock through the web site, eBay, and car boots & markets.

I'm still volunteering for overtime as well, and I'm working this Thursday night as an extra shift - then I'm off for the weekend (and car boot).

And I'm working on another new project that, for once, I'm really enjoying - but I'll tell you about that if I can manage to pull it off.

I've promised myself I will leave my job, going full time in the business, on 1st October, next year. This, by far, is my biggest incentive to get my backside into gear. For the first time, in ages, I'm more confident about the future. I've planned my actions, now I'm starting to action my plans. And, apart from the mortgage issues, because I do want to stay as I am and clear things off in 7 years - I'm starting to make progress.
