Mid-Year UPDATES from Around the DGI Community!!

I recently posted our family's mid-year progress report, and specifically, where we stood with each one of our 11 annual goals.  And although we don't post our progress here each and every month, we actually review our progress each and every month. After all, goals mean nothing if you don't periodically look at them to see where you stand, right?! 

With the above said, I thought I'd share a few links of mid-year progress reports from fellow DGI bloggers that I follow:

1. Roadmap 2 Retire - R2R recently provided an update on his annual goals in his quarterly update.  He has 5 goals listed and has already achieved one of his goals!
2. Pollies Dividend - Pollie recently provided his readers with a mid year review of his annual goals.  He has 5 goals and seems to be on track to accomplish each one of them.  He even raised 2 of his goals. 
3. Dividend Diplomats - 
• LANNY - Lanny recently provided a 2nd quarter check-up on his annual goals. He has 7 goals, 4 are monetary goals while 3 are non-monetary goals.
• BERT - Bert also provide his readers with a 2nd quarter review of his annual goals. Bert also has 7 goals but only one goal in non-monetary.  As a sports fan myself, I can appreciate his non-monetary goal. :)

10. Leigh's Financial Journey - Leigh recently provided a 2nd quarter update for her readers. She has 11 goals and has already accomplished one.  She is on track to meet at least 8 of her 11 goals.

As you can see, many bloggers have annual goals for themselves.  What do you think, is there a possible correlation between having goals and success? I don't consider us a success story just yet, but I can tell you that what our family has accomplished thus far has been with the help of having annual goals for ourselves.  Whether you decide to public announce your goals or not, we encourage everyone to set goals for yourselves.  Even one goal is better than none!
