What NevBlog's Monthly Goal Posts Typically Cover

Updated

NevBlog's monthly goal posts are short, dated entries by Neville Medhora that list the specific projects and measurable outcomes he's targeting that month. They're most useful if you want to see how an entrepreneur running SwipeFile and CopywritingCourse actually sets and tracks priorities — not general advice, but the working list itself.

The basic format

Each post follows a simple pattern:

  • Title: the month and year plus "Goals" (for example, "October 2025 Goals")
  • Byline: "by Neville," with a posting date
  • Body: a numbered list of goals, usually two to four items

The posts appear on a rolling basis, so the blog's front page often shows several months stacked together — April 2026, March 2026, January 2026, November 2025, October 2025, and so on.

What the goals actually contain

The goals are tied to Neville's own businesses rather than abstract resolutions. In the October 2025 post, for example, three goals appear:

  1. Build an AI uploader for SwipeFile.com. The problem described: SwipeFile publishes about 3 posts a day, roughly 21 a week, and each one needs a title, description, tags, and comment. The first AI version worked well but "wrote really really crappy stuff," so the goal was to push it to about 90% human proficiency.
  2. Simplify the CopywritingCourse project. Concrete steps listed include removing the Framer-designed homepage and moving it into the forum software, cutting the number of menu items, consolidating the Profile Page, Journal, and Dashboard into one page, and migrating videos from Wistia to a CDN for more control and a lower hosting bill.
  3. Increase SwipeFile on-page time by 20%. The stated method: improve pages with AI modules so visitors get more from each page and stay longer.

Why the posts are worth reading

Two things make them more than a diary:

  • They name the constraint, not just the goal. The AI uploader goal explains why it matters (21 posts a week is a lot of manual work) and what went wrong with the first attempt. That's the part most goal lists leave out.
  • They include measurable targets. "On-page time +20%" is a number you can check against later, unlike a vague intention to "improve the site."

If you're looking for a template for your own monthly goals, the transferable pattern is: pick two or three projects you're actually working on, state the specific blocker or improvement, and attach a number where one exists.

What they don't cover

Based on the posts themselves, these entries are goal-setting notes, not retrospectives — they describe what Neville plans to do, not a month-end accounting of whether each item succeeded. Readers wanting results would need to look at later posts or other parts of the blog. The posts also assume familiarity with SwipeFile and CopywritingCourse; they don't explain what those products are.
