Quarterly Check-In: Are You Hitting Your Goals?

Quarterly Check-In: Are You Hitting Your Goals?

Q1 flew by, didn’t it? If you blinked and suddenly it’s spring — you’re not alone.

We’re officially at the end of the first quarter, and I wanted to drop in with a quick check-in. Nothing fancy, just a moment to pause, breathe, and ask ourselves the question:

Am I actually moving toward the goals I set at the start of the year?

Look, I know life gets busy. We start with energy and excitement in January, and then suddenly it’s March, and we’re like… wait, what happened?

But that’s the beauty of a quarterly check-in. It’s not about perfection or guilt-tripping ourselves. It’s about realigning. Noticing what’s working, what’s not, and adjusting without shame.

A Few Questions to Ask Yourself:

• What were my top 1–3 goals this quarter?

• What progress have I made? (Even small wins count.)

• What got in the way? (Life, mindset, time, etc.)

• Do these goals still align with where I’m headed or want to be?

• What needs to shift for Q2?

Sometimes you’ll find you are on track — and that’s something to celebrate! Other times, you’ll realize you’ve pivoted, outgrown the goal, or just need new systems in place to support it. That’s totally normal.

My Personal Check-In

I’ve been doing some reflecting too. Some goals I hit right on time. Others? Not so much. And instead of being hard on myself, I’m choosing to adjust my strategy and give myself the grace to keep growing! Consistency beats intensity, every time.

My Most Notable Wins This Quarter:

• Hit 500+ newsletter subscribers for Micro Monies 🥳

• Grew a membership community and added new educational resources

• Helped members fund their first deals or start new business ventures

• Took two spa days (yes, two — and I’m proud of it!)

• Managed a runway reconstruction project at the airport I help oversee

When I look at these wins, the common thread is steady momentum. Nothing happened overnight — it was small steps, done consistently, that added up…well, maybe not the spa days. Those were pretty spontaneous.

Of course, it wasn’t all smooth. I had to fight through decision fatigue, rebuild a few of my systems from scratch, and practice better delegation — which is always easier said than done. But I’m learning that growth isn’t just about hitting goals, it’s about how you adapt when things don’t go as planned.

Moving Forward

Think of this as a reset button — not a report card.

Recommit. Revise. Refocus.
Let Q2 be filled with intentional action, clear priorities, and lots of fun while you’re at it.

You’ve got this. 💪🏽✨

Your Turn:

• What was one win — big or small — you had in Q1?

• What’s something you’re shifting as you go into Q2?

Drop your reflection in the comments or reply back — I’d love to hear how it’s going for you.
