That is diversify it. Investing a part of the money back for developing stuffs that I personally cant do alone. That will generate some jobs for some people and I will be able to profit as well. Till now it is a one man show I code, I write the help files, I design the product graphics the website and then when it starts selling I give the product support. Somedays I retire to bed with a reeling head. Somedays I do not get to sleep. My goal is to invest the money to build an organised business where I will not do the jobs myself but rather divide the responsibilities. Multiply the man power, multiply the product numbers, project numbers, diminish the development time and give quality product support. If I succeed, I will really get a peace of mind. I missed your previous post. Nice haircut! Robert,

I brought my elderly father to live with me and my daughter started college. The problem is that my earnings have remained pretty flat, probably because I have less time to work due to taking care of my dad. My house is paid off and so are my cars. I thought that would make me feel secure but it's not enough. It seems like nothing is ever enough. I guess it's just human nature to worry but when you own your own business it's even worse. So I guess my goal is to be able to start a serious savings/retirement plan.

"I was creating a job for myself" .... and "worrying about losing it". A worthy financial goal would be to accumulate enough to live on without a JOB, and having the psychological strength to not worry about losing it. That is what I dream for.

Well, my bloody oath I would! After all, what I do I do for fun now anyway. If you don't have a passion for the business that you are in, then find a business that you do have a passion for. Otherwise life just gets very boring. I don't have financial goals anymore. The goals I set for myself are x number of blog posts before 30 June, x number of additional subscribers to my lists etc. If you do that, the money looks after itself. The dollars are the result of those types of things and it is those types of things that you have to focus on in order to make the money. Cheers, Ric G'day Robert,
