Goals for 2020
*This was posted about four years ago, and we was just reflecting on last year’s goals and they are similar productive issues.
I am very transparent to the lifestyle of a freelance web designer. It is not easy to maintain a business and create enough income for my family to survive on. I have share my goals in the past, such as 2017 Goals, Missing my Goals and the reason for Goals. I am a firm believer that we all need to have goals, and not only goals (but written goals).
Typically I did not like to share my goals with others, because most of the time they shot my goals down. I have learned over time, that my goals are mine. They are the path to my success and just because someone does not see my future success is not a problem. The key is it is for my success and not theirs.
Many have asked why do I write down my goals. Simple. I want to keep up with my goals, next week, next month, six months from now, next year. My goals change on a yearly basis. Most of my goals are not hit, because I have abandon the project. This really bothers me, so one of my goals for 2020 is to complete the mission. If it is set as a goal, then I am going to continue working on the goals for the next 12 months. Some of my goals for 2020…
WordCamps and MeetUps
WordCamp are MeetUps on steriods. They are a one or two day conference in different cities for users of WordPress. You can hear about plugins, themes, business strategies, and receive assistance for your WordPress site. I plan on attending at least 8 WordCamps in 2020. If I can not speak, then I want to volunteer. Giving back to the WordPress Community is very big for me in 2020. WordPress has been an important ingredient for my success.
I plan on attending more MeetUps in 2020. However, I am going to be a lot more selective. In the past, I attend MeetUps of fellow friends and colleagues. I did not get anything out of attending beside supporting my friends. This was a waste of time for me. I am not going to stop attending these type of MeetUps, but I am not going to be committed to attending. If I am able, then I will. I am looking for more MeetUps with my target audience, faith based and non profit organization movers and shakers.
Support and Podcast
I am committed to developing a better and more efficient support partner for my existing clients. I know in the past, I have committed to my support partner. And a few months in the year, I did not continue to work on this partnership. I am focused to work on creating a better pipeline for my support partner. If success drips into at a slow pace, then that is okay. I need to continue working on this partnership, as it is passive income for my business.
I have started and stopped about three or four times my podcast. I am committed to starting my podcast again in 2020. I am not looking for my podcast to create a huge income for my company. I am looking forward to developing relationships with potential clients. I will focus on my lifestyle as a freelancer and how my target audience should grow their business. I am super excited, and will make sure that this is a sustainable goal.
Conclusion
Goals should keep you with your eyes toward the target. I am hoping my goals will help me to do this. I have written down my goals and read them every morning and evening to make sure not to fall off the wagon this year. Good luck with your goals in 2020.
