New Year’s Goals for 2017

By Cheval John

As we are into the new year, I want to reflect a bit on 2016.

2016 was regarded to some as one of the worst years ever.

They were a lot of tragedies that occurred that everyone of us wished did not happened.

Others will tell you that 2016 was a time of growth in their personal and business lives.

I am in the second boat because I have grown a lot in my business career and discovered some history here in Houston.

And the possibilities of live streaming has allowed me to record my show, What’s The Word? in front of a live audience via my Facebook page.

Of course, I had to deal with the challenges of working at a coffee shop while growing my business.

But those challenges did not stop me from producing content that solved the problems of my audience.

I will let you know that I don’t believe in New Year’s Resolutions because people will break those resolutions in less than 3 weeks.

However, I will tell you my New Year’s goals:

1. To contiue to provide value to my audience on a daily basis here and on my social media channels.

2. To finally have an office (co-working space) where I can fully operate my company.

3. To continue to surround myself with people who will uplift me to be my best self and also give me constructive criticism.

4. To continue to stay away from toxic people who will try and bring me down.

5. To attend as many conferences as possible like Content Marketing World, Podcast Movement and Summit Live UK

6. To speak my mind more due to the bulls*** I see

7. To achieve my financial goals for my company

8. To interview Thalia, Richard Branson Ciamhie McCrory and Cathy Hackl on my show

I truly believe that many of you will have an awesome 2017 because you have put in the hard work and dedication into your business and careers.

So let’s make 2017 the best year ever.

Side Note: I will be blogging everyday for the next two weeks about the top 10 restaurants and coffee shops in Houston in anticipation of Super Bowl 51
