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… Room & Board: $630 Food, Shopping, Misc.: $873 Health Insurance: $99 Travel, Trips & Transport: $515
