It’s a delightful opportunity to take part in this edition of the Hive Newbies Initiative. It was fantastic learning from all you amazing people on the smile discord channel. I’m excited to submit my first task of the project.
What is goal setting to you?
Goal setting is the process of developing an action plan that is designed to motivate and guide a person towards a particular goal. Unlike desires, goals are more deliberate. It involves thinking about what you want, designing a plan on how to get it and taking actions based on your plans, in order to get what you want.
Why do you need to set smart goals?
Goals are not easy to set and achieve, therefore you need to make sure that your goal is smart. A smart goal is one that is specific, meaningful, achievable, relevant and timely. A smart goal gives you more reasons why you should strive hard to accomplish them and a smart goal also allows you to create an accurate plan to achieve it.
What are your goals with regards to;
Hive Power
I plan to be on hive for a long time. I understand the importance of HP in the hive ecosystem. I have plans to power up my HP a little by the end of this month (my third month on hive) and I’ll continue powering up every month based on the amount of rewards my post are able to generate at the end of the month. My goal within the next two months is to acquire a hive power of at least 200 Hp through rewards from engagements and powering up.
My other goal with regards to HP is to fully understand what it is and all other concepts that surround it.
My Followers
For the main time, I’m not that worried or interested in followers. I prefer building networks and friendships across this platform. I believe friends are more important than followers. But if I’m allowed to refer to friends I make or will like to make on this platform as followers then I’ll say that, it’s my goal to make as many followers as there are people on Hive. I’m open to all people from all backgrounds, race, gender identities, religions and whatever. For as long as you are active on Hive and you breathe air, Native Boy Dey For You👍🏿
My Engagement
My goal with regards to engagement is to engage as many interesting contents as possible. I plan to comment on at least 150 posts this and every month. Distribute up to 300 upvotes to interesting posts that I encounter and reblog as many as I can, every month. I’ll also reply to every comment on my posts and also distribute upvotes to constructive comments. My goal is to engage at least a content every day.
Consistency
For as long as my Hive account continues to be active and my internet connection remains stable, if I wake up everyday with my head still on my shoulders, I’ll login to Hive, post a content and engage as many contents as possible, everyday.
My job offline is not very intense and I always have spare time to press my phone, so consistency is not going to be that difficult for me.
It’s my goal to post at least three times every week, write at least fives comments everyday and distribute as many upvotes as I can, everyday.
Other goals….
Apart from the goals I’ve listed already, I also have other hive goals such as exploring more about all the different tokens, finding a niche, building a community and marrying a second wife from hive (a hive user).
Analyze the goals above, what makes them SMART GOALS?
Analyzing my goals listed above, the following factors make them SMART GOALS;
- They all have a meaningful purpose: All my Hive goals works in a holistic manner to yield one purpose, that is to make me strive on the platform not just as a user but as someone who’s activities on the platform positively impacts other users and aligns with the core values of the Hive community.
- Feasible to achieve: Most of my goals can easily be accomplished within a short period, whilst others are long term goals and definitely will take time. But all in all, as I continue to be positive consistent with my work all these goals remain smash able!
- Specific 🎯: Another way to identify a smart goal is understanding how specific it is. Whether it’s aiming at the bullseye or not. I believe my goals are all specific and identifiable.
- They are measurable and i can always if when they are achieved.
- They are timely.
What strategies do you want to put in place to achieve your goals?
My number one and most important strategy is consistency. I’ll login to my Hive account everyday and smash my goals one by one.
Another strategy I’ll employ is actively taking part in community contests whilst adhering to rules. I’ll continue to make sure that I post only genuine and quality content. I’ll make sure not to violate any community rules.
I’ll also continue being positive. I’m a very open minded person and I respect everyone. I’m open to constructive and even non constructive criticism. I’ll continue to explore more about Hive also.
For the main time, these are the strategies that I can think of and I believe I’ll learn more as a continue my hive journey.
