I didn't have any goals when i first signed up either i was like oh i can make money from posting my bs opinions, im down haha.
but then i realised people take it seriously here and that with some work you really can make a decent income so i figured set some goals and see what happens, if in 6-12 months i havent reached the ones ive set in my mind ill probably just trade out of steemit for another crypto but we shall see, i do enjoy the community.
