Success Plan Goals
Goal setting is an encouraged practice, especially when there is so much to do. It keeps one on course with what matters since it involves the prioritization of tasks according to the necessity (Strickland and Galimba 2). It also helps one to keep track of their progress and to identify any existing weaknesses. This paper identifies three goals that I deem important to me and evaluates their significance towards improving my life.
The first goal is to enhance my knowledge and skills in content writing within the next six months. I feel this goal will have much bearing on my career aspiration of becoming a blogger. I know getting hands-on is the best way to have my ideas factored in, rather than seeking assistance from someone else, who may not understand what I envision for my blog. Besides, helping me limit any financial expenses that I may incur in seeking professional help, getting savvy in content writing increases the likelihood of diversifying my career to offer consultation services. The same will improve my tech skills and get my name out there, putting me at a chance to land some other advanced job in future.
The second goal is to establish and enlarge my social network by making friends and connections with other related professionals. This goal I should accomplish within the coming twelve months. It is a goal that will, to a large extent, determine how fast I secure a job and establish a career. It is vital for me to surround myself with people who can advise me, propel my decision-making and through such links to keep my network diversifying.

The last goal is to keep to my rule of a maximum of two hours a day on social media. I should be entirely comfortable with this in three months. As much as my career will need an online presence, this goal will restrict my concentration on what matters. It will also discipline me on time management and prioritization of tasks, a requirement that is necessary for me to provide and maintain a constant production of blog material, to keep the traffic of readers flowing.
I believe, just as Strickland and Galimba (2) purport, that setting these goals will stir an intrinsic motivation within me that will heighten my performance.
