2022 Was Not All Glamourous
Even though I have achieved quite a bit in 2022 I came up short of all of my goals. Let me explain.
CrazyFitnessGuy Website Traffic was Down
If you look at the blog page starting from July - November there is a big time gap. During those months I was feeling depressed because my website traffic plummeted and it has been down ever since.
I honestly felt like giving up and throwing everything away. Everything I did was just a waste of time because I had nothing to show for it. The only way I got myself out of the funk was by reading the book Discover Your Joy and focusing on my podcast which continues to grow every day.
Our Newsletter Subscribers Went Down
Last year CrazyFitnessGuy monthly newsletter lost 5 subscribers which added on to the frustration and sadness.
Our Web App Lost Downloads
CrazyFitnessGuy web app was down for a little bit of time last summer due to switching website hosting providers. During that time we lost all of our app downloads even though I was fixing it.
That hurt a lot because the web app is lightweight so it would not take up a lot of space on one's phone. It's upsetting that people wouldn't give me a chance to fix stuff. I am the only person running everything at CrazyFitnessGuy. I do my best at everything that I can do.
Lost Some Twitter Followers
CrazyFitnessGuy Twitter account lost over 100 followers which were concerning for me. I was wondering if people started hating my brand for something or did not like I schedule out my social media tweets etc.
Just an FYI I do not have a marketing department. Again only one person and perhaps I should not be anxious all the time. But it is upsetting to me when I see the progress I made start going downhill for the worse.
I Did Not Meet My Reading Goal in 2022
I make a reading goal every year so I keep reading. I fell short of 2 books last year. I only read 18 books my goal was 20.
My Guest Appearances Slowed Down
In 2022, my podcast guest appearances slowed down because I was focused on my business goals and other projects. My goal was to get on 200 total podcasts. Instead, I only made it to 144.
What are the Goals for CrazyFitnessGuy and Jimmy Clare for 2023?

2023 Is A New Beginning
Call me nieve I don't care but I have a really good feeling about 2023. I always remind myself as an entrepreneur/small business owner, running a business is like a rollercoaster. It goes up and down through loopy loops. It does not just stay down, eventually, it has to go back up eventually.
Since my traffic has been down for at least two years in a row I am betting that the third time is the charm. I don't mind when traffic fluctuates etc, but when you lose about 90% of readers and traffic it just sucks. Sorry to be so blunt but that is the truth.
I think 2023 will be a great year for everyone and I hope that for everyone as well. CrazyFitnessGuy is not just about me. It's for everyone in and around the community with extra challenges. Let's make 2023 a great year, shall we?!?
