Monthly Goals


This is a monthly blog link-up by My So-Called Chaos which I joined because: (1) I need to see the bigger picture and (2) I need to align my to-do lists with my ultimate goal — create my own dream job and live life to the fullest– the fastest way possible!

 

October was sort of a slack month for me since I finished my 2nd semester in Techno MBA and I had my Saturdays back. Last month, I went to Ilocos to beach bum, started a new blog series (Brain Baits) and went back to reading.  Overall, October was pretty casual.

 

I had some goals, but did I achieve them all? Let me see.

This week was a full-packed week since I was working every  night on my side hustles. I have reached my monthly goal and I am not complaining. Work was just work, but I was kind of happy today because the thing that I’ve been working out for weeks finally happened! And it’s kind of smooth-sailing, but I need to keep an eye on it.

 

Anyway, Jean has already drawn the winner for the giveaway that we hosted last month. So, we have a winner. She’s Mona Verdida from the Philippines. Congratulations, sweetie and enjoy your prices. I do hope you like the books!

 

Jean's List Giveaway

 

And, I’d like to thank everybody who joined. Thank you very much!! I hope you will join future giveaways and contests that I would host.

Last week was a bore, but I loved my online life last week. Lots of great opportunities for work! I also received the news that I have secured a slot on #DesignHerStory Talk this weekend. I think it is going to be exciting! I also stumbled upon a monthly link up on monthly goals! I’m joining that every first week of the month instead of Weekly Wishes. Nice way to really work on that action plan.

I have my September goals in place, so let’s work on that game plan.
