My SMART goal is to finish at least 3 content strategy related cources by december 31st this year. I've already initiated my journey with the Hubspot Content Strategy course.
I have many goals for myself in the future. My biggest goal is to end here at this university with a degree and a job or internship somewhere in New York City.
I have a few SMART goals I am working on presently I will list two.
First Goal
Complete my MBA by April 2024
Email the head of the business department to ask what courses I would need to take this year and Spring of 24 to reach my goal.
Developing a strategy to keep ahead or on top of course schedule.
Graduating early will enable me to get a few months in the workforce before I apply to Ph.D. programs
April 2024
Second Goal
Launch my website by September 2023.
Steps I would take that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistice, and timely are:
Develop a marketing strategy by March 2023
Write 10 blog posts for launch.
Write a draft for the about me page and have it reviewed by April 2023
Identify specific services by April 2023.

Complete 10 blog posts by June 2023.
Purchase domain name by July 2023
Complete about me and identify services by May 2023.
Have a logo created by July 2023
Reach out to Hubspot team to understand the do it yourself features of their CMS, Website, and blog so I can begin working with these platforms for the launch.
Use the month of August to review content strategy plan, blog post, website, and personas.
Launch Website inclusive of blog in September 2023
I will be generating $10,000 in monthly revenue before december 31st, 2022.
My steps to achieving this:
I'm currently identifying digital niches I could sell online.
When I find a product I will dive right into sales and marketing.
If I know a product is succesful or is generating revenue then I will continue to build a website around it.
I'll then use social media posts and funnels to drive organic traffic to my store.
After that I will scale out by adding more digital products, hiring someone for paid advertising, and open a free/subscription based communitie as a suplemental income where I could also hire a servere manager for communitie engagment.
