August 2021 Goals

It’s summer time and the weather is… well atrocious. Weird bouts of heavy rain, with some warm spells. So hard to know how to dress!

Anyway. It’s August, and I’ve decided to take up the Ultimate Goal Challenge. This is a 31 day blogging challenge where you have to post every day. I thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to kill two birds with one stone:

  1. Posting more on my personal brand website
  2. Getting out of my writers block

Blogging is one of my Big Hairy Audacious Goals, so it would be fantastic to make a dent in that!

What Are Big Hairy Audacious Goals?

Recently I decided to set myself some MASSIVE long term goals to help keep me moving and get to where I want to be.

I worked out what success looked like and built some long term goals to help me get there.

There are 16 goals in total, some are quite personal, and others I’m more open about. They cover professional and personal goals. Some goals rely on other goals being completed first.

These are:

To hit these goals, I’m going to set my self some smaller monthly goals to get me started. This will help with accountability, too, as I’m making this public. I’ll add these goals at the bottom of this blog post
