Do you set monthly goals for yourself?

Do you set monthly goals for yourself and if so have you met them yet? I need one more sale this month to reach the revenue goal i set for myself. I try to do better and better each month even though i know its not ultimately up to me.

I try to set goals but, don't normally meet them. This month I would like 4 sales. I have 3 as of today. It says 4 but, I did have to cancel an order because the buyer got the payment mixed up. I would love to hit 50 sales before my birthday. So I have about 24 days until I reach that goal. I always set a craft show goal. I do one a year. This year I would love to break even so about $70 and I would like $100 total. So $30 profit isn't much but, it's one step closer to a car.

yeah i do.
i.e. my minimum goal is 1 sale per month and i have always made it. i´m always trying to gradually increase my views and i want to list something every day.

I have so many goals! My main goal is to add 1 listing a day. I want 100 views a day, and listing really helps with this.

My primary business goal each month is to earn enough to pay my salary.

I like to reach that goal around the 15th of the month so that the rest of the month can be spent increasing the profit

My goals are more sales than the same month the year before and to have at least 40 items in my shop

I always try to set goals monthly for my business. Even though they're to do with expanding and growing it but each month is different which is why sometimes I add more goals or lower them If I achieved them already.

At this point, no. Every month is so different for me that I'm feeling like I really need to create a better personal system for tracking my progress. For instance, right now I am super motivated about my shop. But come December I'll have a new baby (my third) and know I'll have my hands full and the shop will fall away as a priority. Also, I don't have regular working hours because I am home with my kids. Wish I could find a way to organize my time better...
