I feel incredibly grateful to have worked with the Chase Freedom Unlimited team to bring one of my 2019 goals to fruition. When I first sat in this chair I never thought I would be able to pull this off. Writing this series of posts provided a path for me and held me accountable to follow through every milestone in order to accomplish my personal goals on time. 

It has been a labor of love that’s for sure.

My personal goal was made possible thanks to my Chase Freedom Unlimited cash back credit card. Every dollar that I spent I was able to earn 1.5% cash back. I was able to pay for groceries, fill up my gas tanks, pay utility bills, and most importantly, purchase equipment and everything else needed to set up my home studio, like my studio desk. I was beyond excited when I was able to use my cash back to purchase a travel tripod that would allow me to videotape on my trips.

This card has also saved my butt so many times from booking a last-minute hotel in Buenos Aires to paying for meals and transportation in Paris.

I finally feel like my social presence is complete now that my YouTube channel is up and running. I have learned so much throughout this entire journey – positive and negative. The process definitely matters more than the results. I have failed so many times to meet my target, but I kept my focus on the process. My patience was definitely tested. I considered giving up many times, but each time I had to remind myself to be patient and just stay focused on the process. Most importantly, I learned the impact of celebrating not just big but also small accomplishments. This really motivated me to continue to reach for my goals each time I completed my milestones.

Although my YouTube channel is up and running (don’t forget to subscribe!), there are still many kinks and gaps that need to be fixed. It is still a learning process for me, but I’ve been enjoying every second of it.

Setting goals is one of the most important things you can do and it’s never too late. If you are looking to set your own goals I encourage you to start today with some help from the Chase Freedom Unlimited card. You can earn 1.5% cash back on every purchase while working towards your goals. Now is the perfect time to apply because they are offering new cardmembers a special bonus available through Chase.com, and in Chase branches: get a $200 bonus after spending $500 in the first three months.
