Hi everyone! A few repeating comments about ways to help teachers get the school supplies they need. If you can help, check out these links: www.donorschoose.org/ www.adoptaclassroom.org/
Youre the only person in TH-cam that I dont get bored if it doesnt have any graphics. I love how you comunicate with your audience. Keep up your great goals, work and good intentions, your going places ❤️❤️❤️
I’m the same! Somehow I can listen to her just talk for half an hour, and it’s not boring. My attention span is definitely not usually that good, haha.
I just got offered my first full time job after graduating from college, and this planner is absolutely going to be the first thing I buy in the new year 😍 the job starts on the 25th of Jan and I'm super excited to be organized and motivated going into it
Oh my God, I remember being obsessed with Brian's dancing videos when I was in high school and then I discovered you through him. Now I'm almost 30 and watching all your videos from start to finish without ever getting bored or feeling like I am growing out of your content. It just feels like growing together and having a chat at the end of the day where you're too tired to speak but love to listen. Keep up the awesome content, you are for sure an inspiration! Much love from Romania!! :)
since I know that 2020 was really difficult for the most of us, I made a video on habits one can include every day. Go watch and leave a nice comment if u want!Ty🦋 th-cam.com/video/m1G9vq_RzNw/w-d-xo.html
that's a good idea! I feel like I'd need to go to school myself to teach teachers how to teach kids about money. Wouldn't feel comfortable doing that without some sort of qualification.
@@Krisroy85 I say much earlier than that. Start at 3-5yo; this way it becomes natural to them, second nature. My husband and I own businesses and our 5 & 6 yo know the difference between an asset and a liability.
WHOA i love how detailed your goal settings pages are!!! I've been trying to figure out how I should plan out my goals for next year and I definitely will split it up the way you have it in the planner!!! Im really excited for your financial 2021 goal video!!!
Hi Aja! It's the first time that i leave a comment, I saw your videos since the begging. I would like to say that i REALLY APPRECIATE how your content are evolving, being more useful and interesting every time. I think we're all so sick to see all of these influencers who pretents to have perfect lifes, bodies and finances. You inspire me cause you're authentic. Hope you'll stay this way :) Lots of love from Italy:)
my goals for 21 > purchase a kia seltos > grind 24/7 cause i have no social life > keep watching aja dang so we can buy her a house > become god > watch as bitcoin hits 50k > get a lot of sleep and drink a lot of water #bless
I'm absolutely here for the kids financial thing. They do not teach this stuff in school. The children only know how much a dollar is worth but they don't understand the actual value of a dollar.
As a goal oriented person/woman/wife/momma/educator your journal is giving me life, please let us know when it becomes available. I would love to support you and your dreams. Sending love ❤️
Aja I first found you from my friend Amanda N. Who was a good friend of yours. Hearing your long term goal for ethical property development made my heart sing. It’s been so amazing to see your journey since being an SI cover model to being debt free and now launching your own planner. Congrats on all these milestones!
Can’t wait for your planner and support your biz! You are so down to earth beautiful person and I am so happy that you have shared your journey with us!
You can easily set up an e-commerce platform on the squarespace website you already have to sell downloadable budget worksheets and physical planners and things like that!
I used to sell my merch on squarespace and didn't have a problem with it but everyone I've talked to who specifically sells planners has told me Shopify is better. So I'm going to try it and see
Hi Aja, thank you for doing this video. One of my biggest goal in 2021 is actually paying off my debt. Watching your video is very helpful and keeps me going forward at my goal. Thank you very much.
Regarding your goal to help fight homelessness/gentrification in your area: Appreciate the fact that you recognize you're part of the problem. And it gives me SO MUCH HOPE to hear you say "I can be part of the solution". A lot of times I feel very desperate and helpless when thinking about issues alike, it feels like only the rich are powerful enough to change something but that they don't care anyway so everyone else is doomed... the fact that you seem to genuinely care and that you are also actively looking for solutions is so encouraging.
it's such a complex issue. there are people who have been studying it for yearrss and it seems like there's no real solution. I feel like they just need funding to do the things they want to make real change.
Love your videos. Just reached my goal of paying off my credit card debt by the end of the year. Finally started tracking my expenses and setting specific money goals in April 2019 and it has been a total game changer. Thank you so much for all of the inspiration! You’ve been a virtual coach to me so thank you so much! Happy Holidays and stay safe!
For someone like you who is already really deep into studying financial stuff, I'm not sure Broke Millennial will offer much, but for someone who is newer to it, I think it'd be great. I personally found it really helpful to learn about how everything works, especially in terms of my generation.
I would drop everything to attend your budgeting course! Also, I’m a short-term-goals master, and you inspired me tons to figure out longer term goals and dreams of mine.
since I know that 2020 was really difficult for the most of us, I made a video on habits one can include every day. Go watch and leave a nice comment if u want! Ty🦋 th-cam.com/video/m1G9vq_RzNw/w-d-xo.html
Can't wait for your planner Aja! And 2020 was so hard, so step one is getting a great paying job that'll literally fuel me energy wise and money wise to complete my 2021 goals:)
Forgive the book recommendation, but David Attenborough has two autobiographies and they are AMAZING. I typically read before I go to sleep and I find his writing is just like his voice, super relaxing. Also the stories are amazing!
I’m a planner person myself (just set my cleaning schedule for 2021). Picking the perfect planner is such a important pick. I went with the Living Well Planner this year, but I love seeing other planners. ❤️
Sparkles! Oh I love it! I'm so bummed I already bought two planners for next year. I will have to pick yours up for the next year! It's everything I look for in a planner. I always have to modify my planners but yours seem like everything I would need/want are included.
For turning off electronics, I'm a big proponent of using outside apps to 'block' things after a certain time. I use a Chrome Extension call Stay Focused that blocks my ability to use Chrome after a certain time during the week (I don't put a timer on the weekends) and a similar app to block my social media apps from like 9pm - 7am so I put down my phone at night.
Aja, you need to consider a run public office, specifically at the municipal level. That’s one way to make a big impact on your local community and issues such as housing at the grassroots level. Love your visioning, it motivates me to make more detailed goals of my own.
She doesn’t have to run for public office to make a difference. There are lots of community boards and commissions that are looking for engaged, diverse and younger citizens to take part. She should look into the city and county planning commissions in L.A.
I think it would be important incorporate learning about the displacement of Indigenous peoples/First Nations people in considering ethical property development. I love your idea of this and think that you would be able to achieve what's in your heart whilst figuring out a way to do this while addressing the continuing colonisation that is happening and doing what we can to always be mindful of the privileges we have or have access to which Indigenous or First Nations people don't. I'm a Filipino-Australian and also in my 30s and am trying to be conscious of this because I live in Australia which is a country that was/is colonised and the effects of this are horrible. So I really want to be mindful of how I'm living and earning and putting my resources. Much love 💜
This might sound silly but my goal for 2021 is to find a hobby/passion. I’m 26 and I feel like I don’t have an activity that I enjoy or something to do after work. I want to reduce my screen time and actually use my time to do something that makes me happy.
For your school supplies idea, you mentioned at the beginning of the video to help your local community without contributing to gentrification, it could be a nice act to help provide supplies to a local public school near you
Very excited about your planner. Went on the website and added my email to the mailing list. This year I started keeping a budget planner that had some sections for goals and such, but it's not all inclusive of what your planner has. I'm excited in 2021 to take my goals and finances to the next level! Thanks Aja.
I seriously cannot wait to buy your planner. And yes, I will wait! 🤣 you have been such an inspiration to me on my own debt payoff journey, Aja I appreciate your candidness and realness so so much. You are genuinely such a beautiful person inside and out. ❤️
Something useful for your reading goal: set a timer for x number of minutes at a time and read until it goes off. You can start small and work up. It really helps if you're trying to focus your attention on something to know that you have actually set aside the time for it.
Thank you for this inspiring video and also for sharing your goals. It has been of great help ... I believe being positive minded and real as you are, nothing is impossible to achieve.
Hi Aja, I love your proactive approach to identifying ways to help others with your new planner! AND your heart for doing it all! It's so encouraging to see and I wish you nothing but success for this exciting new chapter in your life. Also, you're probably already a step ahead of me here but as an avid planner-user myself, I wanted to let you know that businesses are always updating their planners and creating new versions. I feel that the type of business surrounding a planner is all about taking in feedback relating to the product and using it to churn out better planners on a continual basis. You can never reach the pinnacle as a designer for planners but you can always be making progress with what you have. Anyways, all the best to you.
I'm so looking forward to the MSTRPLN planner! I've been holding out buying my 2021 planner for no particular reason and now that I've seen yours it's what I'm going to buy!
people be mad about me making that comment. Like relax - accept how the world is, understand the cause of gentrification and maybe get a sense of humor? I dunno.
Aja, I seriously look up to you so much! Loved what you said about your ethical property developer goal. A few of my goals are: apply to PhDs, write more, and develop a sustainable upload schedule for my yt channel (not a plug; I make very stupid kpop edits lol).
Great walkthrough of your goals! My goals for 2021 are all based on achieving financial independence and living an intentional life. I started my YT channel two months ago and have LOVED creating content so staying consistent and developing the skills associated with content creation are my top priorities 😀
Can’t wait for your planner to come - I hope you will be shipping internationally. My personal goal after being a first time (single) mom having spent the best first year with my boy is to balance everything: time for my baby, my work and my work out. Also I need to loose 10kg so 1kg a month in order to get back I shape. But I know I can do it and totally motivated. Can’t wait therefore to use your planner to achieve everything. Thank you a always for your authentic videos! I feel like you matured a lot over the past years - love the direction of where your contents are headed. Thank you again !
I always thought it would be interesting to do that because (at least what I imagined) you could split the goals in half. For example instead of needing to save 10k alone, both could save 5k each. Why not do that?
@@AmandaFreitas1998 i think thats a question only you and your partner can answer cause its going to be different for everyone. She seems very independent. It could also be that the relationship between the two isnt a very serious longterm one (could be totally wrong). Trust issues are a big one for me.
@@hayleebennett6596 I’m sure that they are long term serious. Aja mentioned in a video a while ago that one sinking fund she is planning to start is a wedding sinking fund. However, she did also mention that as great as Ryan is, nothing is for certain and they keep finances separate in case, for some reason, they split up later on.
OMG! A kids money journal is such a great idea! I don’t think there is anything like that on the market. It would be such a great way to teach kids about money management.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen the stat but Able goods has shown when women control spending they give back to their communities more than men do. So this really aligns with your first goal :)
Hey Aja! Could you make a separate video of your master planner? How it’s set up and a detailed breakdown of it? I’m in the search for a new planner for the year
I love the ethical property developer goal! That is AWESOME! You could also have rooftop garden, as a way to diffuse heat reflecting off of the roof. It'd be a great way for tenants to get to know one another, and create a real sense of community. Plus, their herbs and veggies wouldn't get trampled by dogs, or stolen by dishonest people. Business coaches always say to delegate -- do what you enjoy and are good at; delegate the rest, because time is our most precious asset. For your graphic design goal, I can understand where you're coming from. That said, it's a dedicated profession for many, and they spend their whole lives learning/perfecting it. If you love it, then it won't be a waste. I used to be a graphic designer and I certainly never even noticed that you don't have fancy graphics, because your delivery is so on point!
Loved the video (will watch all ads to help get a house asap tho lol). I goal setted along with it, and my goals are to get a mentor in the career field im going into @ end of spring term, as well as buying a new (well, used, but newer than my 2001!) car in the first 3 months of the year. Hope we do a check-in video around then? Can't wait for the financial goals video!
I'd highly recommend the works of Jane Jacobs as a foundation for community development research. She was a visionary activist who had so many amazing insights about city planning and neighborhood preservation. A documentary about her called Citizen Jane is on Netflix, and her writing is so good too.
For your first goal, I'd recommend doing some study around urban planning. Big discussions amongst town planners about designing more sustainable and ethical cities. Love working in this area.
@@AjaDang I would see if there are some non-profit community housing developers first and then I would talk to city planners to see what is possible. There might be zoning rules that have the affect of limiting affordable or social housing in some areas.
Ethical property development sounds so interesting!! Please let us tag along on that journey! I’ve been interested in property development and to know that there’s a niche for this is hella exciting ^-^
since I know that 2020 was really difficult for the most of us, I made a video on habits one can include every day. Go watch and leave a nice comment if u want! Ty🦋 th-cam.com/video/m1G9vq_RzNw/w-d-xo.html
Maybe you or you could team up with a small or black-owned or teacher owned/etc. business to design a sticker that people can purchase with their planner for like $5-$10 and proceeds could go to funding teacher's lists? I'm so excited for this planner ❤ I love hearing your goals! I hope you still are taking us along with you when you reach the point of making physical progress on the ethical development! That sounds super big-time, but also totally you.
My quarterly goal is to read a book a quarter. I am AWFUL at making myself read books. I would like to start because I’m fully capable and there’s so much you can gain from reading !
Hope you achieve it! When you do, reading easily becomes a habit. I remember the first time I've set the goal of reading 5 books per year. Now, 3 years later, in 2020 I read 45 books 😊😊 you can do it 🥰🥰
Loved this! Thanks for sharing! Your voice is always so peaceful to listen to! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Aloha! 🤙🏼❤️
This planner looks awesome! Also, I like the budget program model idea. I would def pay for something like that, even for templates, etc. I did a holiday budget based on one of your last videos and it's been useful.
love your goal of becoming an ethical property developer! highly recommend looking at nonprofits like East Los Angeles Community Corporation (ELACC) and Inclusive Action for the City who have been doing this work for a long time. they focus on community development, affordable housing, and support small businesses and overall protecting people from displacement
Wish I could order the planner now and just have it shipped when it's released. The website isn't up for ordering so I have to remember to come back and keep checking... people will forget and not come back = lost sales. It would have been better to be able to order now since the video discusses it and provides motivation in the moment vs talking myself out of it later or just not making it a priority. Pre-NYE = motivation.
unfortunately I don't the final product yet so I can't take photos to put on the website and I don't feel comfortable pre-selling until I have the product but you're absolutely correct - that would've been ideal.
Yes!! I am a huge reader so I def advocate for that. I didn't find Broke Millenial to be super helpful - but I think Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a better read with more info in the same genre (finance, investments)

Congratulations 🎉
Congrats! You're totally killing it 😍💪
CONGRATS! huge deal
Oh my God, I remember being obsessed with Brian's dancing videos when I was in high school and then I discovered you through him. Now I'm almost 30 and watching all your videos from start to finish without ever getting bored or feeling like I am growing out of your content. It just feels like growing together and having a chat at the end of the day where you're too tired to speak but love to listen. Keep up the awesome content, you are for sure an inspiration! Much love from Romania!! :)
wow thanks so much!
Video request: I’d love to see you do an updated rundown of how you brainstorm your big goals down into steps. I really struggle with that.
since I know that 2020 was really difficult for the most of us, I made a video on habits one can include every day. Go watch and leave a nice comment if u want!Ty🦋
th-cam.com/video/m1G9vq_RzNw/w-d-xo.html
one of your courses/events could also be for teachers and ways to teach kids financial wellness in school
Love it. I think managing money should be a middle and high school elective course.
Also check out Thomas Sowell - he will be a big #redbill eye and brain opener for you.
that's a good idea! I feel like I'd need to go to school myself to teach teachers how to teach kids about money. Wouldn't feel comfortable doing that without some sort of qualification.
@@Krisroy85 I say much earlier than that. Start at 3-5yo; this way it becomes natural to them, second nature. My husband and I own businesses and our 5 & 6 yo know the difference between an asset and a liability.
@@11nica5 completely agree with you. If you have recommendations for tools I can use to teach these skills to a 3-5 year old let me know.
Goals: create additional streams of income to be able to not be “house poor” as I enter into the first phase of homeownership
WHOA i love how detailed your goal settings pages are!!! I've been trying to figure out how I should plan out my goals for next year and I definitely will split it up the way you have it in the planner!!! Im really excited for your financial 2021 goal video!!!

I've watched both videos on 2021 goals twice.. Thank you Aja .. great insights I have picked for my 2021 goals
Aja, the goal of becoming an ethical property development and not kicking out current inhabitants is just beautiful.
You can easily set up an e-commerce platform on the squarespace website you already have to sell downloadable budget worksheets and physical planners and things like that!

This video made me follow you! Your goals are so selfless. I was just watching videos. But now. You’ve gain a follower! 👑✨✨
I really admire how you're taking your education and wisdom to talk about things like gentrification and possible, plausible solutions for it.
it's such a complex issue. there are people who have been studying it for yearrss and it seems like there's no real solution. I feel like they just need funding to do the things they want to make real change.

yes! That will be one of the last videos of the year
Also, coming from a teacher, helping us find a way to find ways to buy supplies for our classrooms would be so appreciative! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
maybe a large google docs list and teachers can add their own Amazon wish list to it?
I’m a planner person myself (just set my cleaning schedule for 2021). Picking the perfect planner is such a important pick. I went with the Living Well Planner this year, but I love seeing other planners. ❤️

I'm watching this on 2021 trying to figure out how to save since I am finally working next month! Thank you so much for this!

You should download Goodreads. It gives you recommendations on what to read next and you can keep track of all the books you have read.

My personal goal after being a first time (single) mom having spent the best first year with my boy is to balance everything: time for my baby, my work and my work out. Also I need to loose 10kg so 1kg a month in order to get back I shape. But I know I can do it and totally motivated. Can’t wait therefore to use your planner to achieve everything. Thank you a always for your authentic videos! I feel like you matured a lot over the past years - love the direction of where your contents are headed. Thank you again !
I will be shipping internationally but the shipping might be a little costly and it will probably a take a while to go to you.
Did you end up combining your and your boyfriend's finances? Would be super interested to learn how to do that!
nope we haven't. everything is separate.
I always thought it would be interesting to do that because (at least what I imagined) you could split the goals in half. For example instead of needing to save 10k alone, both could save 5k each. Why not do that?
@@AmandaFreitas1998 i think thats a question only you and your partner can answer cause its going to be different for everyone. She seems very independent. It could also be that the relationship between the two isnt a very serious longterm one (could be totally wrong). Trust issues are a big one for me.
@@hayleebennett6596 I’m sure that they are long term serious. Aja mentioned in a video a while ago that one sinking fund she is planning to start is a wedding sinking fund. However, she did also mention that as great as Ryan is, nothing is for certain and they keep finances separate in case, for some reason, they split up later on.
Can't wait to grab this planner!!!
You would be an excellent urban planner! Thank you for sharing your goals with us :)
OMG! A kids money journal is such a great idea! I don’t think there is anything like that on the market. It would be such a great way to teach kids about money management.
I love your long term goals!
I’m not sure if you’ve seen the stat but Able goods has shown when women control spending they give back to their communities more than men do. So this really aligns with your first goal :)
I did wonder if you were going to do a goals. Honestly I am still reeling from this year.
Hey Aja! Could you make a separate video of your master planner? How it’s set up and a detailed breakdown of it? I’m in the search for a new planner for the year
yes! It will probably be uploaded next week
Thanks for sharing your goals with us. It inspires me and I'm most looking forward to you creating financial events! I will be the first to sign up!!!
I love the ethical property developer goal! That is AWESOME! You could also have rooftop garden, as a way to diffuse heat reflecting off of the roof. It'd be a great way for tenants to get to know one another, and create a real sense of community. Plus, their herbs and veggies wouldn't get trampled by dogs, or stolen by dishonest people.
Business coaches always say to delegate -- do what you enjoy and are good at; delegate the rest, because time is our most precious asset. For your graphic design goal, I can understand where you're coming from. That said, it's a dedicated profession for many, and they spend their whole lives learning/perfecting it. If you love it, then it won't be a waste. I used to be a graphic designer and I certainly never even noticed that you don't have fancy graphics, because your delivery is so on point!
100% agree on a rooftop garden. I know they are becoming more popular in other countries.
It’s not as much about making money but about making a difference. Words to live by.
Loved the video (will watch all ads to help get a house asap tho lol). I goal setted along with it, and my goals are to get a mentor in the career field im going into @ end of spring term, as well as buying a new (well, used, but newer than my 2001!) car in the first 3 months of the year. Hope we do a check-in video around then? Can't wait for the financial goals video!
what field are you going into?
LOVE this level of Goal Diggin
yooo. That's a title for a book right there! haha
Interested in your program budget, and can’t wait for your budget journal comes out. One for kids sounds great too!
WOW your long term goals are so inspiring to me
I'd highly recommend the works of Jane Jacobs as a foundation for community development research. She was a visionary activist who had so many amazing insights about city planning and neighborhood preservation. A documentary about her called Citizen Jane is on Netflix, and her writing is so good too.
wow thanks!! Any other suggestions would be so helpful
i love your ethical developer vision.
For your first goal, I'd recommend doing some study around urban planning. Big discussions amongst town planners about designing more sustainable and ethical cities. Love working in this area.
would you recommend talking to city planners?
@@AjaDang I would see if there are some non-profit community housing developers first and then I would talk to city planners to see what is possible. There might be zoning rules that have the affect of limiting affordable or social housing in some areas.
@@TheEmzies ahhh interesting. good point. Thank you
My goals for 2021 are to stay healthy and prosperous.
Ethical property development sounds so interesting!! Please let us tag along on that journey! I’ve been interested in property development and to know that there’s a niche for this is hella exciting ^-^
since I know that 2020 was really difficult for the most of us, I made a video on habits one can include every day. Go watch and leave a nice comment if u want! Ty🦋

Maybe you or you could team up with a small or black-owned or teacher owned/etc. business to design a sticker that people can purchase with their planner for like $5-$10 and proceeds could go to funding teacher's lists?
I'm so excited for this planner ❤
I love hearing your goals! I hope you still are taking us along with you when you reach the point of making physical progress on the ethical development! That sounds super big-time, but also totally you.
that's a great idea!
Yay!! Always love your positive vibes and friendly voice
My quarterly goal is to read a book a quarter. I am AWFUL at making myself read books. I would like to start because I’m fully capable and there’s so much you can gain from reading !
there's a couple book suggestions in this comment section!
Hope you achieve it! When you do, reading easily becomes a habit. I remember the first time I've set the goal of reading 5 books per year. Now, 3 years later, in 2020 I read 45 books 😊😊 you can do it 🥰🥰
@@AmandaFreitas1998 aww thanks for the encouraging words! 💕
You really inspire me. I think it is because we have the same goals.
Loved this! Thanks for sharing! Your voice is always so peaceful to listen to! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Aloha! 🤙🏼❤️
This planner looks awesome! Also, I like the budget program model idea. I would def pay for something like that, even for templates, etc. I did a holiday budget based on one of your last videos and it's been useful.
love to hear that!
love your goal of becoming an ethical property developer! highly recommend looking at nonprofits like East Los Angeles Community Corporation (ELACC) and Inclusive Action for the City who have been doing this work for a long time. they focus on community development, affordable housing, and support small businesses and overall protecting people from displacement
amazing. I haven't heard of those organizations so thanks for sharing.
This helped inspire some of my own goals for next year a bit. Thank you!
Aja Dang for president! ❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t know that I needed this 💙
Can’t wait to get my hands on that planner
I liked this video. Highly informative. And I plan to buy your planner.
i love your videos so much i just set up more of my moleskine planner and set up my new years resolution sheet
I would definitely fly to the U.S for one of your events. Your children is GOLD!
We need more Aja Dang in our world. :)
I'm so excited for this upcoming planner you're releasing! Any idea when it will be ready to preorder? Xx
I'm hoping by the 28th for pre-orders but I'm still waiting on the final product for approval.
You can road trip to lots of great national parks in California! Two goals together!
I was thinking of doing that for my birthday in January but we will have to see!
Wish I could order the planner now and just have it shipped when it's released. The website isn't up for ordering so I have to remember to come back and keep checking... people will forget and not come back = lost sales. It would have been better to be able to order now since the video discusses it and provides motivation in the moment vs talking myself out of it later or just not making it a priority. Pre-NYE = motivation.
unfortunately I don't the final product yet so I can't take photos to put on the website and I don't feel comfortable pre-selling until I have the product but you're absolutely correct - that would've been ideal.
i was just thinking about a studio for creatives the other day, like a wework space but for the arts. hope that idea comes to life one day!
yes! especially as schools are cutting art programs, people need a place to create!
I hope there's a planner for health care workers as well. I am a nurse and would love to have a financial planner for nurses.
I started dying when Aja was venting about Brian interrupting her, lol
Yes!! I am a huge reader so I def advocate for that. I didn't find Broke Millenial to be super helpful - but I think Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a better read with more info in the same genre (finance, investments)
I need to reread rich dad poor dad. I read it at least 15 years ago when I was super broke so should be interesting to reread now
I love this video! You have inspired me to "dream bigger". Thank you. I have no doubt you will achieve your goals :)
YES! Dream BIGGER!!
