A focused goal can ensure you stay on track with your social media. Make sure your goal is measurable and attainable. We all want to shoot for the stars but the best way to guarantee success is small and manageable milestones. Not only will this keep you motivated to reach your ever-changing goals but it will also keep you from getting discouraged.
