How to Set SMART Goals for Your Blog in 2021

Hi Reader

The end of the year is coming quick and a good time to pause, review and reflect on the past 12 months and recalibrate for 2021.

We have a great little workbook in the ProBlogger FREE Member's Library to evaluate your blog's first year (or any time period) - just log in or sign up to download. Use it to understand key metrics and feedback for your blog, plan for next year and decide clear action points.

Maybe one of your goals or action points will be to take a course...

You have to set goals that are almost out of reach. If you set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are stuck with something below your true talent and potential.
