2017 Recap and 2018 Goals

2017 Recap

I hope everyone is having a great New Year’s Eve! Our little family has spent the last week in quarantine with the flu, but I can’t say I’m complaining to much about having a New Years Eve in. Overall, I feel like I hit the business goals hard, but definitely slacked on the personal goals.

This year, I maintained consistent relationships with my long-term clients and added a few other clients, I networked per usual, attended ATD ICE and DevLearn, spoke at DevLearn, and facilitated a week of Articulate Storyline 360 training. My husband and I traveled to Calgary and Toronto, and I traveled to Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Newfoundland. I would have run the Bluenose and participated in the relay race; however, the dates fell in line with when I was away for ATD ICE.

Personal goals:

• Slow down and take more time to enjoy the present;
• Maintain a consistent exercise schedule;
• Register for run the Bluenose Half Marathon and a relay race; and
• Travel to Calgary and Toronto with my husband and plan an anniversary vacation.

Business goals:

• Maintain relationships with my long-term clients, and continue building a small network of clients.
• Continuing networking with colleagues I respect;
• Attend 2-3 conferences;
• Speak at 1-2 e-learning events;
• Get Sprout up and running;
• Learn a new skill;
• Participate regularly in the Articulate E-Learning Heroes Challenges; and
• Blog regularly.

2018 Goals

For 2018, I really want to focus on some of the personal goals, and more maintenance when it comes to business goals.

Personal goals:

• Slow down and enjoy the present;
• Maintain a consistent exercise schedule;
• Be more mindful of the food I’m putting into my body and make positive dietary changes;
• Run the Bluenose Half Marathon and participate in a relay race (should be do-able since I won’t be attending ATD ICE this year); and
• Travel to Toronto with my husband for the Blue Jays Home Opener and plan and execute an epic 5-year anniversary vacation.

Business Goals:

• Increase business income by 25%;
• Attend 2 conferences;
• Speak at 1-2 e-learning conferences;
• Participate in the e-learning heroes community challenges (period – not regularly, just participate);
• Blog regularly;
• Break 1,000,000 views on the blog; and
• Get more courses up on Sprout.
