March goals check-up + April goals

Post month check-ups + Future month goal posts are some of my favorites to write. It helps me to get my mind in focus and prepare for the next 30 days. I'm so glad that I've started doing monthly goals instead of yearly. I know I would never keep those. I can adjust these goals each month to fit my current life situation while still moving forward. 

March Business Goals Check-up:

- Write an additional 10,000 words for a total of 35,500 words.

I got close with 48 posts. I've implemented a new system, though, that will help me to remember to post for next month. 

- Email a blogger or fellow business owner once a week. 

Only got to email one. But I just love doing this. It's fun to seek out people that I can encourage! 

- Blog 4 times. 

Well, I got half way there. I've also implemented a new system to make sure that I keep up with blogging. It's not that I don't like blogging. It's just making sure that I carve out time in my schedule for it. It usually takes a whole lot longer than I expect.
