At the start of December I organised and ran the 2016 Wrap Party for over 240 bloggers. The idea behind the week long course, with Facebook lives, was to assess your 2016 blog performance and set goals for 2017. Setting goal in a slightly different way to most, by working on 90 day cycles.
90 day cycles have been proven to result in greater achievement, more productivity and more motivation. Here are my goals;
Outcome goals for 2017

Although I have plotted the outcome goals for quarter 2-4, these would be flexible depending on how my 1st quarter goes. For each quarter I will drill down the processes and tasks I will need to do to get there and allocate time to these on my planner.
I hope this helps you think about your goals in a new light. Do you have goals for 2017?
