My Goals For February – What Are Yours?

Do you currently make goals for your life? Financial goals? Business goals? Spiritual goals? Networking goals? I own this website, and I’m ready for it to become one of the most well-known financial sites on the internet. In order to do that, I’ve decided to set up a series of goals for the year that will propel me into the elite group of financial blogs.

If you don’t have any goals in your life, you’ll never see the same success as someone that has them. It’s a proven fact. Without goals, you’re liable to not just stand still, but you’ll most likely begin moving backwards, in exactly the opposite direction as you desire.

Here are my goals for February. Please join me in my quest for greatness, and I wish you the best of luck for you and your quest as well!

February Goals

1) Bring My Alexa Rank Below 100,000 – My Alexa Rank is currently at 113,393, but it’s beginning to turn around (which was my goal last month). I would love to see my Alexa Rank go below 100k again. That is a major milestone for many bloggers. If you’d like to help me achieve this, please download the Alexa Toolbar! Not only will your visits then count toward my rank, you’ll also be able to see the rank of every site you visit!

2) Grow my Subscriber Numbers to 1,100 – My subscriber goal by the end of the year is 3,000, but I need to develop some momentum first. If I could reach 1,100 subscribers by the end of February, I would be ecstatic. By reaching this goal, I would be in a great position to explode my numbers in March and into the rest of the year. This goal is critical and I’m going to do everything necessary to get there.

3) Increase my Facebook Friends to 375 – Again, this is an attainable goal, and it would provide excellent momentum for the rest of the year. If I can get my current number from 314 to 375 in a month’s time, I can propel that growth into my overall goal of 1,000 by the end of the year.

4) Increase My Twitter Followers to 1,300 – I have done an absolutely terrible job promoting my site with Twitter. Basically, I’ve created an account and automatically send tweets when I post, and that’s it. There is so much more I can do! Right now I have 979 Followers. I bet I can get this number to 1,300 by the end of the month.

Alright…. that’s enough. In order to achieve each one of these goals, I figure that I’d have to put in about 20 hours worth of work on this site per week, which is a ton! But, in order to drive momentum, it’s going to take a big initial sacrifice. I hope that you’ll be rooting me on. I can’t wait to see this site move up the ranks and change thousands of lives throughout the world!
