August 2017 Checklist

I’m a big fan of checklists and breaking up big goals into smaller, actionable goals. Here’s what I want to focus on this month! I hope this list inspires you to join!

August Goals:

3. Wake up between 6:30-7 am on weekdays.
4. Continue to work on my big project!
5. Write 5 Forbes articles.

7. Pitch at least one new publication.
8. Do the VB6: Eat Vegan Before 6:00 to Lose Weight and Restore Your Health . . . for Good
