Let’s take a look from another point of view, of a reader. Yes, setting goals is super! But it’s super for blogger’s ambitions, but not always for the readers. The trick is, that popularity, number of subscribers doesn’t actually reflect how good your blog is. I mean that when you set a goal top 100 blog is isn’t equal to “top 100 best blogs covering this topic”. For example, once one of my friends discovered such sing as “lifehack”. He told me how he read about a trick with an apple, that will make you fresh as cool mountain water in the morning. It actually worked! That was a real life hack! Now watch at today’s most popular lifehack blogs. Most of time they are writing some casual articles about self-management. Maybe it’s useful, maybe it’s even worth to read but it’s not real lifehack. So, that’s what I’m talking about: when you set a goal like that, you may move away from first task: write a good blog.

Great way to break things down. I often realize when dealing with people that the power of goals is very much discounted. A good, powerful goal, along with a solid plan, makes all the difference in the world.

Goals are simply dreams with a deadline.

Great post. I think the “Reevaluate” part is very important which many people tend to overlook. If we keep using the same strategy that doesn’t work, we’ll be where we are no matter how long we climb. Keep climbing.

Defining vision, mission, goal and financial metrics are definitely important for anything we do in our lives. For me, if one day I could meet someone who actually made a real business success leveraging my blog information, I would be grateful… but these days, I do feel I need to break it down to more tangible goals and metrics. Thank you for your tips.

I always had sales goals when working over the years so why I have not even considered it towards my blog makes me feel so stupid. Thanks for reminding me.

Very nice in-depth article. You can’t climb if you don’t know where you’re going. :)

Inspirational and motivational article about achieving something in life!

Set Goals -> strategy -> execute -> review -> execute -> MOUNTAINS (Success)

The “execute -> review -> execute” is always repeated in the whole process.

Great post.

I like the idea of splitting up your goal into parts. That way your can see what you need to be doing in which area.
