Last week, during our Social Media Workshop, I asked the participants to create SMART goals and then I promised to help them come up with action steps to achieve those goals when we met again for the second workshop.

I have listed their goals below with some resources to use during class in addition to my class content and I hope these resources will also be helpful for other business owners visiting todaysworkshop.com.

Best Regards,
Tanya
