Every year I post my goals for the next twelvemonth .
Let ’s see how I did onthe finish I set for 2018 , then we ’ll hit 2019 .
2018 Goal 1: Publish 2 Gardening Books
I ended up complete five books this year which were unrelated to horticulture . Consequently , I only managed to write one garden title . I had to take the work I was employ to do , so no exit there .
2018 Goal 2: Secure Land for Gardening
I managed to do this by take over the 1/4 Accho lot we apply for our current garden .
I managed to do even better by finding and grease one’s palms some country of my own .
Success !
2018 Goal 3: Create a Balcony/Porch Garden
I gave up on this .
2018 Goal 4: Hit 60k subscribers on YouTube
Nope . I hit almost 53k . 7k short .
2018 Goal 5: Stick to a Workout Regimen
I did well early in the year until I suffer my shoulder joint and had to give up . I ’m 165lbs at 6’1″ , so I am lean , but I want to be in better shape with more muscle batch . I ’ll have to exercise around the persistent injury . have my own land should facilitate put me in better shape , even if I ’m not dependable at stick to regular lifting .
I made 1 out of 5! I win!
I was close on a few things , but not on others . It was a unearthly yr . I literally wrote 50k per calendar month for about four calendar month of the year , all on other people ’s projection . That take it out of me .
get ’s move on to this year .
Now let ’s make some goals for 2019 !
1. Finish writingGarden Heat: A Jack Broccoli Novel
Becausethe first booksold SO WELL , I demand to write a follow - up for the literally dozens of raving fans I win with the first installment . This is obviously my top anteriority in the fresh year .
2. TurnCompost Everythinginto a composting course with lots of video and written content.
I have a friend working on this now . I suppose there is a lot of potential difference here , as many people really enjoy seeing a presentation rather than just reading about something .
3. TurnTotally Crazy Easy Florida Gardeninginto a course
Totally Crazy Easy Florida Gardeningis my best merchandising Word . multitude in Florida really require a crash - course in horticulture – why not offer it ? I have a husband / wife team concerned in taking on this project early in the newfangled year .
4. Hit 20k subscribers on The Survival Gardening newsletter
That ’s about 8k more than I have now . It should be accomplishable .
5. Finish The Good Guide to Plant Propagation
This book is half indite and demand to be all the way written . I could finish it in a calendar month if I can get some free time . It would link in nicely with my new greenhouse book as well .
6. TurnStart Your Own Home-Based Plant Nurseryinto an audiobook
This would just take a few days of voicing and editing . Some people really prefer sound , and audio versions of my other books have done well .
7. TurnTurned Earthinto an audiobook
Yep . This need to pass off . Last class I get with a associate that has a great voice , but he ’s had some wellness problems lately so I may just sound the leger myself .
8. Build a house
This is go to be huge . I do n’t know how I ’ll pull if off , but I need to do it . One slice at a time !
9. Start another plant nursery
Once the star sign is built , I would really like to set up another glasshouse . I did well with my last one and there ’s a genuine penury for initiation here .
10: Hit 100k subscribers on YouTube
This should be quite potential if I chronicle the account of the raw land and star sign construction . Rachel wants to make unconstipated videos from now on , so hey – we could do it !
11: Finish a Top Secret Film with Marjory Wildcraft
I have some serious experts lined up as guests for a major instructional film project I trust to finish betimes this year . I ’ll let you know when it ’s out and I can share more .
I think that will keep me officious .
What do you plan to do ?
