I feel that it is very important to set direct goals for yourself every once in a while. Whether it is short term or long term, it’s always extremely rewarding to achieve something that you have been working for. September 1st is just a perfect time to plan your life ahead and I’m really excited to rock this autumn to the fullest!

In this post, I’m not making a huge plans or announcements for this autumn tho, rather than that I hope to maintain and grow what I’ve been already building up since the beginning of this year.

When I think about my work I always separate it into 2 parts. Both of those are very important to me yet very different. Blogging has always been a hobby to me. Since the early days, I used to post artsy poems and photography online and I’m happy to call blogging part of my work now. Design business I’ve been practising for the last 2,5 years was pretty unexpected turn in my life, yet very rewarding. I feel like I truly discovered my passion and I’m so excited to grow and improve in this field even more.

Thus these are my goals for the upcoming 3 months:

BLOG:
• I hope to actually start blogging consistently. At the moment I still blog without planning, just when I feel like it. I believe the time has come for scheduling posts again and blogging daily, or at least 3-4 times a week.
• I’d also like to double my social media game. At this point I mostly focus on Instagram & Facebook, but would really like to get into Twitter & Pinterest.
• Double my monthly pageviews. This is really closely connected to the first point!
• Collab with other bloggers (get in touch if you’d like to work with me!)
• Get a new camera! I’m thinking about Sony A7.
• Fear less, risk more.
• Dedicate at least 1 full day a week for blog related tasks only. During this day, I hope to prepare and schedule my posts, instagram entries, take pictures, read other blogs & just truly enjoy whatever I am doing without getting distracted by other things.
• Keep focussed. At the beginning of this year, I divided my blog posts into categories. However, some weeks I’d go with only making food related posts and then the rest of the topics kind of get abandoned. I’d love to bring some harmony into this place and keep every topic as consistent as possible.

BUSINESS:
• Continue having steady income. It’s been a blast seeing my business bringing me steady paycheque every month. I hope for it to stay this way or even better- grow further.
• Start design related blog as part of my website.
• Provide my customers with better service. Create some tutorials + video explanations.
• Start a mailing list (it’s crazy that I haven’t done it yet, shame on me).
• By the end of October, exceed last year’s income.
• Collab with at least 1 blogger every month.
• Improve my Worpdress game, start offering migration services.
• Update all the older themes.
• Get a new laptop. My current one is really dragging me down.
• Develop at least 1 new theme for both Blogger & Worpdress every month.
• Stay focussed & put my customers first.

So here it is, friends.

I hope to achieve all my goals for autumn 2015 and I’m happy to have you by my side on this journey. Have you set any goals for yourself yet? It’s important to share and remind yourself of your goals. Many people fail just because they forget to follow their list!
