This month may be one of the most lucrative months for me as a consultant. I have been challenging myself all year to bill 150 hours each month and I could never reach the goal. I take responsibility for that though. This month I wasn't overly focused on reaching the number, I was just trying to get my work done and I'm on track to go above and beyond this goal.

The reason I want to hit this number is two fold. One is that I want to keep myself busy, and working almost 40 hours a week does that. The most important reason is money. I bill hours, so the amount of hours I bill, has a direct correlation to what I make each month. I'm a big believer in earning more money versus cutting out the things you love, so this is my way of making changes. I also am supposed to be getting a payment from my ex business partner. It's been a year since I stopped working with him, and I'm still waiting on my last paychecks. Luckily I've been put in a situation that allows me to not stress over his non payment. Anything I get from him will be extra.
