As we count down to the New Year I hope you all have a wonderful day and a fantastic week. What are your plans for this week? I have to run and pick up some Christmas Tree lights and a star for the Christmas Tree as I can’t find ours. Then I am coming home to work on this years Christmas/ Holiday Gift Guide. As I am still struggling with the items that need added to the blog for next year but it is getting done slowly but surely.
Another thing I know I need to work on today are my Goals for 2015 and the Blogs and Radio Show. So my question for you is should I keep the Radio Show or should I let it go and concentrate just on the blogs and growing them. As well as building a online community of people we can all work with?
Have you set your Goals for next year ? Now, if you haven’t set your goals for next year when do you do that? Do you decide on your goals by yourself or do you work on them with your family? Do you include your friends thoughts as your putting together your goals for a new year? What is the one thing you want to accomplish this year and what happens it you don’t accomplish it?
Did you accomplish all the goals you set for yourself this year that you wanted to accomplish? Or will you add them to next years list? Did your family accomplish there goals? How about your friends? As I am not sure if my family or friends did as we don’t speak about our goals with each other. Although we should as it would help keep everyone accountable.
As for myself I failed miserably at the Goals I set for myself. although if I was to take a step back and think about the year I could say these goals wasn’t what God had in store for my family at this time. As I did have a huge success in other areas of my life. So this year I am just going to put one step in front of the other and not give up no, matter what happens.
The top 5 Goals I had were:
1) I wanted to be making at least $100 a month which didn’t happen and I I want to be honest with you so far I am not making anything consistently although I have made money here and there and it always came at the times we needed it the most. Which was all because of God and not giving up.
2) I wanted to have a page rank of 2 on both blogs and both of my blogs don’t have a page rank at all. Although throughout the year I have been showed time and time again that that didn’t matter as I still have gotten new paying jobs, reviews and readers. I am truly blessed with where I am.
3) I wanted to have a Keuring Coffee Pot to review which has been my dream since I began this blog and again I didn’t have the right stats to get a Keuring. Which means I didn’t do something right or I could just say it wasn’t Gods will and that is what I am going to do. Because I know if I really wanted a Keuring Coffee Pot that I could have purchased one or earned it through Best Buy. So I am not going to let this get me down I am just going to move ahead and no, when God thinks the time is right that it will happen and if it never happens I am okay with that as well.
4) I wanted to have 4 clients secured for next year and I only have one. Which one client is enough because as I help them with there needs I know people will see what I can do and may contact me for my services. If not working with just one client will give me more time to work on my own sites and spend more time with my family which is a God send.
5) I wanted to have at least one Guest Post weekly on the blogs and a CO/Host for the Radio Show and I have neither!! Although once again that is okay as I will find them when the time is right. As of know that wasn’t one of Gods plans for me and my site and I accept that as I don’t feel my blog is ready for these things.
Goals!!!
Goals for 2016:
1) To finally secure that elusive Keuring and if not it is still okay is it means once again it wasn’t Gods will for me to have the elusive Keuring and there are a lot of other Coffee Pots out there that are just as good and I can work towards getting one of them. As it would still mean I was a success in what I do and what I accomplished.
2) To rebuild my stats and to pass them by leaps and bounds and if this doesn’t happen once again it isn’t Gods will and I am okay with that as long as I do the best I can and I work hard on what I do. As well as not giving in the towel as it isn’t the time for me to do that. As I know God still had plans for me and my blog. I just need to take the time to listen to him.
3) To turn my blog into a blog people want to visit and leave comments on and I did make this some what through the challenges I entered but I need to get readers who come each and every day and share and leave comments. So I plan on placing this into Gods hands and letting him lead both me and the blog to where he wants it to be.
4) To find the elusive Co/Host for the Blog and I will shut the Radio Show down as it will allow us to save money and to focus all my time on the blogs and to allow me to find the people God wants me to work with with out stressing over the time and money I am putting into things that didn’t work.
5) To finally be able to say I made money every month even if it is only $1 and I know with Gods help and support that I can and will do this. As I know I need to invest money into the blog to keep growing and I want to be able to keep growing and the way to do this is to not only place things in Gods hands but to believe in myself and my family which I plan on doing from here on out.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
