6 REASONS TO BLOG LIKE CRAZY...

...in last Monday's post I eluded to several reasons that prompted me to take the #BloglikeCrazy Challenge:

1. I saw it as a PUSH to step out of my comfort zone;
2. I need to try new things;
3. I like to see what others are doing in the world;
4. It presented an opportunity to learn new things; and
5. I joined out of curiosity to see what good things might come out of it.

The 6th reason:

 to help me meet my annual personal blogging goal:   100 posts per year. 

At the beginning of 2011, after having blogged 3 years,  I decided if my blog was to become effective ("worth it's salt") I needed to write at least 100 blog posts per year.  I have only discussed this goal  with 2 of my blog friends.  Reason being - I did not want anyone to think that I judged them if they didn't have 100 blog posts every year.  This was My PERSONAL GOAL.  Setting this goal was my way of making sure I remained consistent in blogging.  From what I've learned, consistency is the key to almost anything - right?.

To achieve this I break my annual goal down to a monthly goal and make sure I keep track of the number of posts I've done.  My Mantra:  Inch by inch anythings a cinch; and you can eat an elephant - one bite at a time.  There are times that life gets in the way and I fall short of my monthly goal, but make up for it in the following month.  It's been an interesting ride.  Taking the #bloglikecrazy challenge this month will help me easily reach my annual goal this year.

Do you have any personal blogging goals???
