Even though I have not been 100% successful with my goals these past couple of months, I really like doing these blog posts. It helps me understand and realize what types of goals that I need to set. I’m constantly learning how to create goals that set me up for success, instead of failure, and I finally think I’ve worked out the magic formula for accomplishing goals! But first, a look back on August:
