Tax Time For Me

I wish I could pay $100,000 in taxes.  Yes, it is tax time for me. The more taxes I pay, the happier I am.  CRAZY?  NO!  The more you make the more you pay.  MAKE, is the key there. To pay $100,000 in taxes yo have to make a lot of money.

My plan was to get my taxes done early, but as always, here is is 8 days until they are due and I just started yesterday.  Luckily I use TurboxTax for my taxes and it makes it much simpler.  I do not have complicated taxes.  I have income, expenses and that's about it. I do not claim interest payments since I do not have any.  I do not own a home.  My taxes are simple and fast to file.

OK, today is April 9th and I officially declare my $10,000 in 90 days a TOTAL bust.  I did not even get started.  My mental blocks kept me from doing anything.  I was hoping a challenge like this would make me overcome my situation. It did not.

HOWEVER, this challenge has been very enlightening.  I have seen my demons at work and knowing them makes it a little easier for me to plan how I am going to conquer them. 

My lack of activity is ridiculous, but it is a fact.  I have all kinds of reasons (excuses) for not doing anything, but none of them hold water in the light of day. 

So, what is my plan now?  I am going to set some small goals for this month.  I am going to work at accomplishing those.  When I get the little ones going, I can add more little ones and work at them. At some point the big goal will just naturally fall in place.

I am an eternal optimist.  I believe I can do this. I believe I can do anything I set my mind to.  I know success is available any time I choose to embrace it. 

Bottom line is that I did virtually nothing with internet marketing, but my Ebay sales got some very nice extra income that I normally do not get.  Also, I have begun making more headway in getting my Ebay sales more consistent. 

I cannot say this challenge was a failure. I was forced to focus on what I am doing and it improved my business.  I made at least $6000 over what I would have normally made in the same period of time.  I am not sure where the money is.  OH, my two landlords have most of it.   I am really over my head with rent.
