But Not Everyone Loves Setting Business & Blog Goals
Actually, that’s not true. The truth is, most of us have no problem setting goals. It’s the reaching them part we struggle with.
In all honesty, that’s the problem with setting goals, no one thinks it’s actually doable.
You either end up setting HUGE MASSIVE goals and getting overwhelmed and quitting. OR you set small goals to avoid the whole “that’s too big” problem and then the goal may not even seem worth the effort to try and you quit.
This is where a plan along with a planner designed for business and blogging comes into play.
Along with a step by step plan, having a planner created for business and blogging can really help you find the motivation and inspiration you need to SMASH your goals and get things done!

The Epic Blog Planner is designed to last a year she breaks down each task and gives you a great plan to keep you going.
This planner is a great way to reflect and plan out our blog goals for the year.

4. The Conquer Kit: A Creative Business Planner for Women Entrepreneurs by Natalie MacNeil
I love the look inside feature that Amazon offers or I would have totally skipped this one because it says “The Conquer Kit is a canvas for your dreams and goals.
You are invited to sketch, scribble, collage, and write all over these pages, all while developing an airtight business plan with proven strategies for success.
I was lost. A planner you doddle in? Huh?
However, this book looks perfect for those just starting a business with worksheets and financial paperwork samples. If you are not sure what type of business you want to start or need a creative jolt this is the planner for you.

After reading the reviews I was surprised by the number of people who were upset it was a planner. Um, it IS in the title? lol!
Anyway, my point is, this book is designed as a PLANNER for those who have run their online business for at least one year as you are comparing last year’s stats to this year.
