Everyone wants to be a holder of Crypto when it goes to the moon.  But to be part of that trip, you need to prepare.  I for one want to be onboard when Hive and HE tokens start taking off for the moon.  As part of my preparation, I have monthly targets that get adjusted if I exceed it the prior month.

I established new monthly and year end goals. Here is the post reflecting the goals I will be tracking: https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@darmst5339/what-should-i-aim-for-now



## Hive Target

Growing my Hive is a little harder than I would like it to be.  It is the foundation that provides the voting power for all of the other HE tokens.  Without it, then you are challenged in growing all your other tokens.  For August, I am targeting an increase to my Hive Power of 72.8 Hive. This week I earned over 14 Hive.  This puts me to slightly over 24 so far this month.  Still a long way to go to meet this months target.

## CTP Target
For the next few weeks, I am putting most of my focus on increasing my CTP holdings for two reasons - 1) I entered the CTPSB staking contest and want to get one of those cool NFTs, 2) I am closing in on being in the top 100.  I have several hundred more CTP to go but I will get there with the focus and determination.  

I am targeting an increase of 1604.9 CTP for August. This week I earned 611 making my total so far this month 974 CTP.

## Alive Target
I am targeting an increase of 1767.6 ALIVE. I enter the weekly staking contest and daily engagement drawings to assist with my earning ability. I am not doing as well as I had hoped so far this month, I earned 216 ALIVE this week bringing my total for the month to 454.

## POB & LEO Targets
With my focus on CTP this month, I am not earning as much POB or LEO as Targeted.  I will continue to try to make on post in each of these communities each week.  I will be focusing on these two tokens later this year.


## SUMMARY
Here is my progress so far this month related to my new August targets.
