Update: 2022 Goals Q1

This is a recap of the first quarter of 2022.

In my 2022 planning post I said:

I’m focused on building my audience, career, and relationships for Q1 of 2022. This is probably an indication they’re going to be the focus for the year.

This quarter I reached the blog traffic goal. I missed on the newsletter and Twitter goals.

For the second quarter, here’s what I’ll tackle and the order of priority:

(High) Build processes to write and engage on Twitter and LinkedIn daily
(Med) SEO optimization for 3-5 blog articles; write at least 1-2 SEO articles
(Low) Define the value proposition of the newsletter; reposition opt-ins

Let’s dig into how things went. Plus, plans for next quarter.

(How did you do this quarter? Would love to read or hear about your retro!)
