Having no goals means you have no plans and no destination. If you have no destination, that means you are moving randomly (undirected movements) or not moving at all. Goals are what bring about definite plans and definite plans are what make you achieve your goals faster or achieve anything worthwhile at all.
Setting goals on steemit means you have a definite milestones you set for yourself and working towards. In an earlier post today, I talked about the importance of building your steem power. You can check it after reading this post. Your main goal on steemit should be to build your steem power as much as you can. Of course, there are other goals or milestones you can plan and work towards - number of posts, rewards, followers . You can check different goals and awards to on Steemitboard.
Here is how I classified steemians based on their set goals and activities.
Those with no goals and no actions/negative actions.
These are steemians that came in with no goals, no plan and no enthusiasm. Some in this category are actually engaging but negatively. You see them making comments that are not relevant to the posts and soliciting for upvotes and following. They most times remain stagnant and redundant.Those with goals but with negative/no action.
These ones have the pictures or written goals of what they wanted to achieve within a specific time but they have little or no enthusiam or focus to take the required actions for them to achieve these goals. Or they are going about achieve those goals with negative actions like spamming or plagiarism. You know how people in this category are faring or end up.Those with no goals but have a lot of positive actions.
There are lot of steemians in this categories. I used to be here. They are doing everything right, they create valuable original contents, meaningful comments, upvote good posts and invest in steem/Steem Power but their actions are not targeted. They are achieving a lot but they could have been achieving much more if there activities were directed to achieving specified goals.Those with realistic goals and are proactive.
This is the best category to actually fall into. They have specific and realistic goals in terms of Steem Power, followers, number of posts within a particular time and so on. And they focus their actions into achieving those. Once a particular goal is achieved, they move on to the next one. Sometimes, they exceed their own expectations, achieving a goal quicker than they anticipated and setting another one immediately. This way they are effective and efficient. They use their time and others resources optimally and achieve the best results.
Conclusion
The purpose of this post is make us the best steemians we can be. It is highly advisable to check which category you fall into and make proper adjustments. The goal should be to be in the best category which of course the 4th category.
