You've got 2 months to reach your 2022 goals! | Fresh Engineer Tears 💧

Happy Halloween, Fresh Engineers! 🎃

Halloween is one of my favourite holidays of the year, only topped by New Year's Eve (duh). Besides the fact that I love dressing up in weird costumes, this time of the year always gets me to reflect on the year and think about my goals until the year ends because...

2022 is over in 2 months! We've got 60 days left to achieve our goals for the year. One sixth of a year. That's too much time to be wasted waiting for the new year to start. Let's make it count!

So, here's the plan: Let's all set 3 Sprint Goals for the last two months of 2022. What do you want to achieve until the end of the year?

I've (almost) completely stolen this idea from the amazing Hannah Witton who likes to set Homestretch Goals around this time every year. Definitely check out her goals until the end of the year for some more inspiration.

Here are some categories you can think about when setting your goals:

Career and business
Finances
Education
Relationships
Health and fitness
Personal growth
Spiritual growth

You can pick three goals in three different areas or three goals in one area or something in the middle. I've decided to go all in on one area because I'm sort of an all-or-nothing person. I'm going all in on my business.

My 3 Sprint Goals are...

Build my new engineering Discord community into a fun, inviting and supportive space and use it to connect with other cool engineers & future engineers. And maybe find some future business partners? 👀
Launch the damn website I've been working on, "the website I wish I had when I decided to become an engineer" with a quiz, original memes & helpful resources - and, most importantly, good design. Why are all the engineering websites so ugly? Probably because it's hard lol. Let's see what I can do 😬
Make progress towards building a profitable business. I currently have a gap of about $370/month to close between what I'm paying for my editor and what I'm making with AdSense and affiliate sales. It's not necessarily a huge gap but it's too much for me to keep paying it out of pocket every month. Here, my plan is to look at other creators of similar size who are making more than me and understand their income sources and think about how I can adapt them to fit my niche 💸

Let me know what your 2-Months Sprint Goals are! You can simply reply to this email or reply to my tweet so we can keep each other accountable & motivated:
