Q1 Goals Check-In

/

At the beginning of 2019, we shared our goals for the year over on our I Do, We Do podcast. Since its now April, we thought we would share our progress to these goals. 

Before we jump in to grading ourselves on our progress… let’s do a quick storytime. In December, we went away on a little staycation/retreat and focused in our goals. We laid out some really great plans for our goals. They all had target dates, detailed action items-- so we were ready to rock 2019. 

And we did. For a while… 

Then February 1st rolled around and threw us a major curveball. You can hear all about that (again) over on the podcast. 

We’re finally picking up steam again in the beginning of Q2, but today we are just focusing on Q1.
