#socialbloggers 136 // 2017 Goals Check-in

Back in 2015, I set myself some goals at the start of the year. I didn’t review them once, until towards the end of year when I realised I probably wasn’t going to reach my blog goals. I felt pretty lousy about it.

Since then, I’ve always checked in with my progress regularly to ensure I’m still on track and know what my focus is.

This weeks chat was all about checking in with our 2017 goals one month in.

How are you doing with yours?

Q1: What 2017 goals did you set? #socialbloggers
