Earlier this week I talked about gazelle intensity, and how I’m going to tap into that kind of laser focus for two things: 1.) my weight loss and marathon training and 2.) saving up $7000 for my tax bill by April of next year. Today is payday, so the savings begin. Unfortunately, I haven’t plowed all the way through my budget for the next two weeks, and I need to do that before I start what I hope to be one of those “goal thermometers” here on my Fist Pump Friday posts. Therefore, you have a week to think of a goal you want to share with the rest of EOD nation to get all gazelle about.
I was honored to share my story on the Couple Money Podcast this week, so if you have a few minutes, throw on your headphones and check it out!

Woohoo, thanks for the fist pump action. My gazelle goal is to make $4,000/month by June. I realize that might not be a lot to many people, but it’s more than I’ve ever made.
That’s a great goal, Stefanie, looking forward to following along to see WHEN you meet your goal! Have a great weekend!
Thanks much for highlighting Grayson’s post sir – I really appreciate it! Best of luck with the weight loss goal – I’m on the tail end of mine and can’t tell you how much I’m ready to hit it. 🙂 Have a great weekend sir!
That’s awesome, John – good luck on reaching your goal and t hanks for stopping by!
I need to start getting my new goals down on paper. Enjoy the weekend!
Writing them down so you can visualize them is a great first step, Brian! Can’t wait to read about them on your blog! 🙂
Go, Travis!! One of my goals for this year was to cut total expenses by 3% compared to 2013 expenses. My gazelle goal is to beat that goal. 🙂
Make it happen ,Laurie! sounds like a great post! 😉
Love the roundup! Congrats and good luck on the running. OMG, I would die if I had to save 7000 a year!
