August Goals
PITCH COLLAB IDEA – ON HOLD – I decided to wait on this goal, I have so much blog related things right now and I want to focus on those things before I start another one. I definitely still want it to happen, though.
COMPLETE ONLINE PORTFOLIO – DONE – Okay it’s not technically done right now but I’m going to make sure that I have it done before this post goes live. The portfolio itself is done, I just have to add some more projects/work.
COMPLETE PAGES – DONE – I finished up my work with me page (minus the recent work section) yesterday and my about page was done last week. I still have to figure out how to organize my portfolio page and I should probably update the best of page
STAY ORGANIZED – DONE – I think I did pretty good with staying organized, I didn’t do much blogging while I was on vacation or planning ahead
DO SOMETHING FUN FOR MY BIRTHDAY – DONE – It wasn’t too exciting, but I did get dinner with a friend and then shopped with my mom and sister for a while. Plus I did only have to work 3 days that week because of my vacation!
NO SPENDING – SOMEWHAT DONE – I didn’t do too bad, but I got a couple things like some containers for my makeup and Mr. Kate’s book. It was my birthday though I somewhat have an excuse. I’m definitely going to keep limiting my spending & possibly setting a budget.
September Goals
FINISH MY TERMS OF SERVICE & PRIVACY POLICY – Rachel from The Haute Notes posted about why you need terms of service and privacy policy on your blog and it’s been on my list to do since then. I have some that I’m going to use, I just need to edit them to fit my blog.
WORK ON MY CLIENT PROCESS – Now that I have my Work With Me page done, I need to start working on my process to make sure that everything goes smoothly when I’m working on a design for someone.
SKYPE WITH A BLOGGER – I would love to just talk to a blogger about our blogs and get to know them better. It’s something that always makes me nervous and I think just talking to someone one-on-one will help me with video making in the future when I start working that into my blog.
LAUNCH MY NEWSLETTER – I set this as a goal a while ago but this time it’s actually going to happen. I’m not going to say too much about it until it launches, but I’m currently working on the opt-in.
START EXERCISING MORE – I found a leg workout that I’m going to start doing every other day and I think I might ride the exercise bike on the other days. The hard part will be sticking with it and not giving up after a few days like I do most of the time.
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR THE MONTH? DO YOU WANT TO HOLD EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE? SEND ME AN EMAIL!
These are such awesome and creative goals Emily!! 🙂 I love the idea of skyping with a blogger and getting all your pages set up! I’m also in the very beginning stages of starting a newsletter. I really want to make it happen, but then work and life get busy! Hopefully I can do it soon! I’m wishing you all the luck with your goals and getting your client process and blog work finished!
What are your ideas for your newsletter? It’s definitely a lot of work, especially the opt-in!
Great job on your goals from last month! Good luck on your goals for this month…can’t wait to see your newsletter!
Thank you! I’m really excited to launch it and i have so many ideas!
Great goal list. I have only just started writing monthly goal lists. I love your skype idea and am going to send an email about keeping each other accountable with our goals x
Sharing my goals helps me a lot with getting them done! I’ve already started almost all of my goals!
