Category Archives: Monthly Goal Meet-Up

First things first. I know, I know. I said I would do a special mid-month reminder for the meet-up and then I neglected it entirely. I just got caught up in other blog stuff, so I’ll save the special reminder for another month. Let’s jump into what I did do:

October Goals

1. Run! Yoga! Elliptical! Twice a week = happy life. (Um…)
2. Stick to completely realistic budget. (… not so much)
3. Develop and implement 3-month Alice PR plan. Yes!
4. Write twice weekly on Modite. Woot!
5. Throw an appetizer and wine party. Go me!

We can start with the bad news.

Grace Boyle of Small Hands, Big Ideas (above) rocked yoga last month. I selfishly wanted to feature her for inspiration because I hate the gym. And it hates me. Okay, really I love it, but who has time to exercise? No, seriously. I’m constantly exhausted, often to the point where I worry myself into thinking something is seriously wrong, when in reality? I need movement.The kind that doesn’t require my wrist being glued to my mouse.

Here’s what I did cross off for September:

September Goals

1. Start to exercise once a week.
2. Get 30% more blog and PR coverage for Alice than I did in August.

I’m borrowing an idea from Jena over at Modish, who hosts a Monthly Goal Meet-Up for creatives. I’d like to do the same for those interested in the career and life conversations here at Modite.

So, each month we’ll check in with our goals from the previous month and our plans for the new month. I’ll feature a photo and accomplishment from previous participants to accompany each meet-up. This is the first month – yay!

My friend Caitlin McCabe of Smile Like you Mean It (above) keeps me sane and started a successful consulting business last month. Pretty awesome. Here’s what I crossed off for August:

August Career /Life Goals
