Q3 Goals & Achievements In Review.
Time flies! Q3 ended this week and it's time to reflect on my goals. My targets for Q2 turned out to be too easy, so this quarter's targets have been more stretchy:
In review, it turns out they were a little bit too stretchy since these are my results:
Looking back, I believe there are a few key reasons for these goals not to hit a minimum of 80%:
- Lack of focus: I had to prepare a talk, and I focused more on
Stock Analyzer. That's still significant progress, but not on the goals I had set
- Seasonality: Summer times means fewer people working, likely fewer growth opportunities
- Late goal setting: I started actively working on these goals in early August, which means one month less
I should've considered seasonality and upcoming events when setting my targets. However, it did push me quite a bit to go the extra mile in the last few weeks of Q3.
Next week, I'll be looking ahead at setting goals for Q4: this year's final quarter.
