With this year drawing to a close, it's about time I check back in with my 2017 goals. Since I set them for myself, back in January, I've revisited and revised them. You can find out which of my goals were changed in my 2017 Goals Check-In post. Here's how I got on with my goals this year!
1. Save £1000. Not even close. I did, at least, open a new savings account. This is a goal I'll be working on in 2018!
2. Fit into a size 14. Autumn/Winter is a really shitty time of year to try to lose weight. Another goal to work on in 2018.
So, I didn't do as well as I'd hoped with my personal goals in 2017. I arguably failed at two of the most important goals on my list; weight loss and finances are high on my 'must improve' list for 2018! Now onto my blogging goals, which I'm pleased to say I did a lot better with!
4. Make plans to attend a blogging event next year. I don't know what's going on next year, yet, and if I'll be in a good enough place mentally to go.
6. Reach 1.5k on Instagram. On the other hand, Instagram has just been awful this year. Could they please give smaller brands/bloggers an opportunity for growth too?
7. Reach 200 on Facebook. My growth hasn't been bad on Facebook, but nowhere near what I had hoped. And people keep 'unliking' my page - what's that all about?!
8. Reach 350 on Bloglovin'. With the great Bloglovin' scandal of 2017? Growth has stalled.
I really smashed it with my blog goals this year. I'm actually really pleased with how well I've done, and I'm not too worried about the few I didn't hit. Growth on some social media platforms this year (IG - looking at you, babe) has been awful for so many of us smaller bloggers. So I don't take it to heart anymore. I just hope I can carry this motivation forward into 2018, and make it another great year!
Did you set yourself any goals for 2017? If so, how did you get on?
