2024 Mid-Year Personal and Business Goals Check In

There was a point in my life where I would set big goals and not check-in on them.

I would keep them top of mind but only assess my progress once the goal time frame (typically one year) ended. Not anymore!

Now, I make it a point to assess my goal progress along the way.

This helps me course correct, make changes, or keep doing what’s working!

At the end of 2023, I shared my personal and business goals for 2024.

Now that we’re over the halfway mark of 2024, I want to share my progress! In this episode, I’m doing a mid-year personal and business goals check in!

I’m sharing my goal progress with you, in the hopes that you’re encouraged to do your own progress check.

Here's a glance at this episode:

[02:07] Raya shares her progress on some health and diet related goals she set for 2024, along with a recipe!
[05:25] Another goal for Raya is to max out her Roth IRA. She shares that she isn’t on track with this goal as of now, but has confidence it will be achieved.
[10:38] Another off-track goal is taking an international trip. While planning has started, it likely won’t be a trip that happens in 2024.
[13:40] Raya shares some events happening in the CGS community that can help reach the goal of 7500 Facebook Group members.
[16:25] While the business is not hitting a 50% increase in revenue, it is averaging 20%, which is still promising.
