Here is my self-employed life financial statement for October 2018:
Income: $372
I spent most of the month working on launching the Strategy Toolkit, which was an absolute delight. I ended up making two sales ($198) and also made some “internet money” from Amazon affiliate links via my Quartz article (accidentally left the link in there! – about $60) and from Medium (about $25). I also received two generous gifts from an incredible coaching client ($50).

On the cost side, I moved around a bit in Taipei so did not get the advantage of a monthly AirBnB rate and a short visa-run to Vietnam which jacked up the living costs a little as well as booking my return trip for ChristmaLet’sLets hope for a return to a lower cost of living next month…
