^^ I feel you. I need to get a new prescription which will be about another $1000. Not even done saving for my computer yet and already after that is done the next lot of money will be spent, not saved. Makes me a bit sad, since I want to see my accounts growing, not staying the same.

Date of Completion: 3-31-2015
Your Completion Reward: A lovely new laptop to call my own!


Update
I'm not doing as well as I want to be. The bills are paid, just no extra for fun yet.

I was supposed to cam twice a week while the kids were at daycare. That fell through though. The daycare I found was ridiculously expensive. So they only went for 1 week until I got in touch with my previous daycare provider. Plus, they just got a grant for a state preschool curriculum. So if there are no openings in my town, my daughter will still get to be on par for kindergarten. It's going to cost me 30% less(!), if I can stop playing phone tag with the provider.

I have been uploading videos to new sites, but I really need to work on making new content. It has been hard to motivate since my computer crapped out.

Luckily my husband's schedule is changing, so I'll have 3 days open for working. I'm searching HH for ideas on how to up my game. You would think that after 7 years I'd be banking. Nope, not there. I really need to work on my dirty talk. It would be good for the club and online. I'm just so stupidly shy...

I had a terrible week. Was 300 short of my low goal. This week was all tech glitches and then a family emergency and dealing with some recurrent health issues. When it rains, it pours. Anyway, I'm gonna shake it all off and I am excited for a fresh new week!! Time to kick some ass again!

Well, here I am. This week is my first week as a full time camgirl. I have a schedule that allows for 12hrs a day on cam. My daily goal is $200 a day. Time for me to kick this challenge's ass.

This week was tough 'cause I was feeling like shit most of it. Feeling much better now though and I'm going on a great hiking trip tomorrow and a show afterward so whatever this virus/detox/burnout shit I've been going through is... it should be all over with by the time Monday rolls around. The week isn't over yet though. Some panty/video/etc orders could come in tomorrow! Gotta stay positive!

I had a terrible week, between my personal life imploding, and NOBODY wanting to do any shows at all, apparently all week lol. Needless to say, this week sucked donkey balls and I didn't make really anything, but this week is looking good so far! Back to back pvts/excl for the solid 3 hours that I worked tonight. :D

Starting to feel like I actually CAN do this, now!

Weekly update: add another thousand-ish for me this week. I have a bad headache today, so I didn't break 3000 like I was hoping.
So thankful for the financial security camming gives me if I actually put in the hours.
I've had my best weeks on cam ever lately. What's even better is that I've had fun almost every single day.

Bad news:
I got a collection notice from one of those debt companies. So now I'm REALLY aiming for my high goal. I'm gonna go out swinging. I've already sent out a validation letter asking for like 20 million pieces of info. All they have sent me was a copy of the last 6 bills from the original debt. I'll give them a few more days before I talk to a lawyer.

Good new:
I have finally gotten all of my content uploaded and set the release dates!! Success!! Only 2 more sites to go now. I'm getting kind of excited to start filming again. So is my husband. I think he has missed it more than me. He had fun helping me out (Even if it was just throwing gummy bears at me). Doing some supply shopping tomorrow for my fun stuff!

Hey bbs! Sorry for the long post but I haven't updated in a while and I've been super busy moving :)

Weekly Update: Good news! I just signed my lease for my new apartment. They forgot to inform me that the 2 bedrooms were actually small but it's still 1200sqft of room and I'm quite happy with it. My kitchen and bathroom are to die for and I can't wait to host some vids showing off my hd granite counter tops, brand new stainless steel appliances and cabinets. I finally have a large volume control shower head and tile throughout. I can't imagine how many times I've wanted to do vids or shows in other areas of my apartment but the interiors weren't up to my standards, lol.

http://i62.tinypic.com/35n7pld.jpg


Bad News: Because my bedrooms are so small I can't fit my king sized bedroom set inside of it. :( WTF? So I'll have to put my bed in one room, find some cute end tables that match and keep my dresser and chest in my office. To me that's ghetto but I can't do anything about the size of the room now can I? My other bad news is that I'm staying with my family while I finish hustling and waiting for the new place to get finished. The internet is 1/3 of what I'm used to so I cannot split cam nor can I phone bone which is somewhat making my earnings take a hit. Don't let me get on the decorations in my guest bedroom. Totally not cam room worthy! I digress, beggars can't be choosers.

Another thing that annoys me is that I feel really uncomfortable working around my family. Home aides are coming in and out Mon-Sat, for about a total of 6 hours and totally putting me off. My family knows I work from home and I'll text clients around them but forcing myself to cam is almost blood curdling for me. Sm's traffic seems off and I've only cammed a total of 2 hours since I've been here. I have a few regs on skype begging for shows but I keep dismissing them but I need to get my shit together. Skype shows to me are more personal than shows on big box sites so not being able to really connect and offer them everything puts me off. I'm using a fan to keep the noise down but I can't be extremely loud and moan like I'd like to and I feel bad.

I can't fucking wait until I move in the new place so I can walk around half naked and have phone sex. I'm shocked at how much I actually miss getting these fuckers off over the phone, lol. Since the building is so old I have to shield my work from the neighbors. The vents are fucking huge and the hardwood floors are no joke. I was able to meet my neighbor and he informed me that he and his wife heard muffling noises when the workers would talk and pretty much all of the walking throughout the place. My only options are getting a white noise machine or fan for the vent in my room, closing the vent, getting a vent magnet to put over it, and maybe even a pillow to cover that for good measure, lol. You can never be too sure.

My other plans are to get a few thick area rugs and put a few decorations up to help soak up some of the sound throughout the place. If they can hear muffling, then they can probably hear moaning but with all of my tactics I think I'll be okay. I'll take muffled sounds over "Bend over bitch boy while you take my big fat strap on up your ass!" I'll do the same with the office. You can never be too safe.

Alas, I have 2-3 weeks of hustling to do before I actually move in so I'm going to suck it up and hustle as hard as I can. Maybe if I put in more hours all of my steaming/sound barriers will still net me what I need. I hope all of you ladies are doing well :)

Oh man, I am terrible at updating, and shit at keeping track of money daily I only really update when I get paid. Colour me disorganized! I've also been struggling with motivation, I am having some trouble in my personal life and it is really affecting my attitude on cam, which is no good at all! Read through the thread, though, feeling a bit better! Might even get my shit together to get online tonight...

For my weekly update, I'm up 700. I should have cammed more last week. At least I'm more than on track for my low goal, but I really want to hit that high one.

I earned $2000 across both sites last week (yay) so I'm rewarding myself with two days off to spend tine with my dad. Why the fuck do I feel guilty how for not working? I hate that about self employment. I smashed my targets and I'm still anxious, even though it's only Monday and it's only two days.

I decided to join this fall-winter hustle.
For me would rather be,winter-spring hustle ,because the winter is almost here :)
So..I don't have huge income and not regular either..i make between 500-1000$/week and sometimes i make like 2000 in a week (only when i am lucky with generous regulars) so I am not sure I can meet my goals I want to put,but I will still try.
Theese weeks on streamate are really bad so I doubt i can make huge money,but I stay here.
I decided to post here because I feel that would make me a bit more motivated.
I wish to make it by 1st of march 2015.
My goal is 40.000$ ,and the first 15000$ I would love them to be made by 31st of December 2014.

I always do this, too!! It's definitely a process for me to be able to realize that it's OKAY not to work when I don't want to work. Esp. if I'm smashing targets (BTW that's awesome!!!!) :)

Tomorrow is the last day of the month! I would like to make another $1800 tomorrow but I'm gonna be soo busy Idk if I'll be able to. Maybe. Either way this month was AWESOME for me and this goal helped so much! I paid off 1 credit card and put a couple thousand on another this month. Things are happening! Haha.

I'm not quite going to hit my goal for this month but it's still been another great one for me too. Very happy with my work habits over these past couple months and am going to keep pushing hard.

SweetJulia

I have another 300 from a regular to report :) I'm in the process of getting on daily pay with almost every site, so the paperwork is being worked on, so the only place I can work for the next few days is MFC and that's soooo not happening, so I'll probably just relax over the weekend and work a bunch next week.

Your Maximum Goal: $15,400
Your Minimum Goal: $4,400
Your Start Date: 11/01/2014
Weekly Update: Just starting this week. Will make a ticker and update with my earnings from various things from today/yesterday.
Date of Completion: MAX: 03/20/2015 | MIN: 12/31/2014
Your Completion Reward: Successfully back in school by minimum goal, successfully out on my own and living somewhere better by my maximum goal.

I will be putting all my earnings and received (minus my living expenses) income towards this goal and nooooooooooooot touching it. I have separate accounts where I'll keep each goal's money in. This isn't necessarily PURE savings, it's money I need to make to get to where I want to be.

All my earnings will include stuff from my vanilla self-employment job, camming, and maybe content sales.

This will be a true test to see how badly I want something and a test to see how well I can save money and not spend it at the drop of a dime.

Update: Only 8 more days for me to hustle before move in day. YIKES! The reason I say 8 days is because the one week in arrears we get paid on leaving the 8th the last day to make payout before payday on the 14th. Luckily I can work until the 15th and get paid some of it on the 16th or 17th from IML. I'm excited as my deposit is already paid but I'm going to have to put in a ton of hours in. I don't think I've ever worked more than 30 hours in a week just on cam so I'm nervous but very excited and eager to make it happen. I will be sleeping 6-8 hours and working 12-15 which will allow me to spend at least 2 hours a day with my family and an hour to get ready.

Once the 15th gets here and the movers drop off my things from storage I'll possibly take off a few days to unpack and veg out to prevent total burn out. Since I move in between the middle of the month the next month should be prorated at half price. Once I peel off enough for that I'll veg out for a while and focus on other things. I'm feeling positive about all of this and I believe that if I put in the work, it will happen :D I've been logging in and making at least $50 an hour and I haven't been able to split cam or phone bone at all. I have accepted that because I can only work one camsite at a time, that my hourly could drop to as low as $16 but that's fine as well. I'll update my ticker soon as well. I have both my earnings spreadsheet (calculates my hourly) and my new budget spreadsheet all ready. I hope you all are doing well!

I need to step my game up, big time.

What gets all of you ladies pumped and motivated to push past pain, sickness, and the never -ending shark month and get on cam?

Honestly, I keep what I want in the forefront of my mind. Then I tell the voices in my head (laziness, tiredness) to STFU and do what I gotta do. Having spreadsheets and things spelled out to you in clear view can help a great deal. Also, bills laid out, a budget, websites or photos of things you want to buy, places you want to visit/vacation also help as well as rewards.

Sometimes you gotta want it as bad as you want to breathe. As for that time of the month I get really tired physically but I plug her up, take some extra strength Tylenol, and keep it moving. Unfortunately bills don't care that we're females with shark weeks so you gotta do what you gotta do. It also helps to take your normal days off and perhaps group them together if you can't bear to work or need to burn out. Example: My new budget allows me to take 1-2 days off a week. If I know I'm too burnt out or ragging badly I'll group all of my off days (4-8 days) that month and promise that I'll work the rest of the month with ZERO days off.

What really helps me is knowing I'm the only one in charge of my destiny. If I don't work stress is sure to follow. My new budget is a security blanket so following it to the tee allows me to be stress free.

I've been bad about checking in but here I am. I've been working a set schedule this week (and mostly sticking to it!) and it's been paying off in spades. This is my best earning week ever AND since most of my bills are paid for the month that means that almost everything I made this week can go toward my car fund!

Well between MFC and SM and some vid sales I managed to finish at $140 below my high goal this week and I slacked off in hours (should have worked another eight). My goal this week is to put in my 5 hours a day in no matter what so I reach my high goal (and maybe then some) since I only have 6 weeks before I go on my India/Nepal trip. Those international flights are expensive bb!

Official camming day is Tuesday. I had to start all over; deleted my account for personal reasons.
Hopefully everything is ready to go by then, on SM anyway. I'm still hesitant thinking about trying CB and MFC again.

Got very distracted yesterday by an old friend and neglected some commissions, but hopefully today I can get something done.

I am so glad I made a timegoal now instead of a moneygoal. If I work on my discipline and get my butt onlinbe I will crush my goals. I allready surpassed my dailygoal of 450 and I am at 209 minutes.
