Not so long ago, I was inspired reading Jongolson's #MyHiveGoals where he publishes his progress week by week. It took me a while before jumping into it but when I did, it helped me set realistic goals for the year and I'm happy to have achieved most of them as of this time.
Then a little over a week back, I read a thread by 
Growing My Leo Power
Initially when I just joined the Lion's den, I've set to stake at least 500 LEO for this year. 1LEO was 0.22HIVE then. But as I spent more time here in the community, I was inspired to raise it up to 1500 Leo Power then to 3k LP. After reaching that number a couple of months ago, I was prompted to increase it for the fourth time to 7k Leo Power and I'm ecstatic to have achieved it this month during the 7th LPUD, yay!
LeoFinance is community-driven and it's one of my favorite places on Hive. Obviously, it's the reason why I created this dedicated account back in August so I can spend more time here and learn from the best too.
Anyway, for the record, here's how my accounts' combined Leo Power grew in the last 9 months.

I'm very happy at how my LEO Power have grown from merely 41 to 7338 LP in the last 9 months. Do note that the $LEO staked were mostly bought from the market and some were rewards from curation, post, threads, comment, delegation and winnings from contests and earlier, via the Leo Engagement League.
Setting a certain goal certainly makes us stay focused. And although we may deviate from it at times, at least we still have a guide to check on as to how we are doing. And it maybe a bit too early now to set a new one but I'm hoping to be able to double that amount in the next 12 months and at least become a Lion per the Pride Ranks as introduced by 
So how about you, do you have a number or targets in mind for your Leo Goal next year? Do share them below or via a post too.
Cheers and all the best!
