Things to consider:
1. This is a very basic calculator to get you thinking in “numbers.” Even if you volunteer your services, you need to know the value of what you are volunteering.
2. Are you running a business or are you engaging in your passion in your free time? Be conscious of this. If you are running a business, own it.
5. If you are volunteering your time, how much time, energy and money can you spend on it each month?
6. If you are running a business, are you charging high enough rates to support yourself?
7. Do not quit your day job until you know exactly what these numbers need to be to support you and your family.
8. With your ‘eyes open,’ you will be clear on how much energy you must spend to get achieve your goals and what it takes to do it.
