Ahead of 2020, I had set goals for what I wanted to achieve this year. I was excited about the possibilities a new year brings. A new year is always a chance for new beginnings, and this year, it is especially true because 2020 was rough. Although I did achieve many of the goals I’d set for the year I am looking forward to seeing what 2021 has in store. To ensure next year is a year for growth and new opportunities I’m setting achievable goals for personal development, to improve my health, financial status, and more. Because I believe goal setting is important for everyone I am sharing goal ideas for the 2021 New Year. And yes, it’s a free printable!
