January is a month for action.

Start as you mean to go on.
No resolutions or fake new years bullshit but clear meaningful action.
This is the time to set goals and targets for the next twelve months.
To show up every day and add a few more more blocks to your foundations.
SMART goals.
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Relevant
- Timely
The basis for successfully achieving what you are looking to by setting realistic goals for a set period of time.
I'm not here expecting to hit 1M HP this year even if it would be amazing.
That isn't realistic or achievable from where I am right now. Instead I will do what I have done every year since starting on hive and try to increase my balance through hard work and effort.
On the plus side due to the compounding nature of crypto those targets have gone from 100HP and 500HP to 50K HP and now even higher.
Specific.
I will focus on my three main tokens as I did last year. Splinterlands and CUB are still growing in the background but I have less control over their growth as hard work isn't going to increase them.
So it's Hive, LEO and HBD and setting growth targets for 2023.
Measurable
This is very easy thanks to the blockchain and our wallets.
Targets for 2023 are,
Hive 100,000 from 66.7K
HBD 5,000 from 0K
LEO 100,000 from 50K
Attainable?
It's possible to achieve these numbers. Easy no. But definitely possible depending on the markets over the next twelve months and based on consistent activity over that time period. Combine this with some DCA to increase my holdings and it's a good target to aim for.
Relevant.
Are these targets useful to my future. Absolutely.
This is where I see myself in ten years with a significant stake on Hive and LEO as an income and as a personal business. Growing my stake now sets me up to achieve even greater things in the years to come.
Timely.
12 months is a specific and realistic target to grow my account by these amounts. I have a deadline to achieve this by and enough time to work at it. It all depends on my own actions over this time period but it's something to work towards that will take the full year to complete.
Now it's just about turning up every day and putting in the work.
The easy part.

Definitely agree, January is the go month and it will set you up for the rest of the year. Great read!
Especially in a bear market where most people are pulling away.
This creates even more opportunity for the dedicated people to get ahead.

It is a great way to attract people to Hive in a bear market. Now is the time to BUIDL and as long as we continue to build and grow we will do good.
I agree with January been the month to get to work. Let’s keep doing the work

I can see which faces are showing up every day.
Those are the ones who will reap the benefits in years to come.
The whales here now are the people who have been working at it for the past 6 years.

You challenging goals.
I hope you reach them all

It won't be easy but that is part of the fun.
Having to work to achieve them.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is the fun part to set goals for a year.
We create a commitment to ourselves to achieve them.

With different numbers, but those tokens are where I'm placing my focus as well, and hoping all the others keep growing on the background. Good luck on achieving them! !PIZZA
Thanks.
Everybody will have different targets but this is where i feel that the best path lies with these three tokens.
I've wasted enough time looking for other projects to earn form but all roads lead back to hive.

Wow, huge numbers! I hope that you can achieve it this year.
So far I am doing well with my goals this year. I am eyeing to get at the very least 5,000 HP before the year ends by being more active than ever.
Big numbers but I did start five years ago so that has a lot to do with it.
My first year i struggled to hit 200HP but over time you can keep aiming higher and higher.
Glad to hear that your doing well with your own targets and have a target for the year.

I agree and I set some goals for the entire year. It should be possible so long as I show up every single day.

Waooh, I just love this part:
Many people join the frenzy of making new year resolutions. But, they are not ready at all to work in any specific measurable ways to achieve such goals. Any gain playing oneself? no. I wish you all the best in your goals above. Will be checking up on you to see how it goes.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Resolutions are only worth something if you can actually hit them or make them stick.
There is no point in making up targets that just aren't going to happen as you will give up very fast.
Better to set smaller goals that you can hit and feel good about it. This is the motivation for future growth.

Well said. Better to have a realistic accessement of our situation and capabilities. That's modesty too. Wish you all the best and more in your resolution above. Lets do more!!!
