Leap day kind of seemed like an appropriate day to bang out a list of goals for this little space here.

I’ve been thinking about what I want to accomplish this year, and what I want to achieve with this blog. I’ve been blogging for a good while here, but it’s always been a personal journal space. I’ve dabbled with the whole trying to make money from it, but it felt super forced, and not really where I want to go with it. I got caught up in the excitement of feeling like it could be a job that I lost sight of what really mattered, and what I was really here for.

That’s not to say that I don’t still have some sponsored content, there have been emails that have dropped in my inbox that have definitely piqued my interest, but I’m definitely being more choosy and making sure that the product works with my blog and content.

So, going forward, these are the 5 goals that I have for this year. I want to make them attainable so I haven’t made any pie in the sky goals (like becoming the next Chiara Ferragni #TheBlondeSalad) but I want to be able to say at the end of the year.. I was able to do this.

My 5 Goals for Blogging this Year:

1 // Finish the Blogging Breakthrough Challenge by the end of March.

2 // Start vlogging regularly, and updating my YouTube channel. (I also like the idea of a podcast, but… let’s start somewhere first right?)

3 // Have one giveaway this year!!!

4 // Use my editorial calendar religiously.

5 // Hold a survey for feedback!

What do you guys this of these goals? I’m hoping to have the survey out soon, so any feedback is totally welcome and more than encouraged!! Have a great day!
