How To Set Goals For Your Business

Introduction:


One of the most important pieces to a successful 2015 for your business is setting goals. It is easy to set goals, but you need to set them up properly or you will not set your best results.  






What to Expect: 

In the rest of this post, I am going to give you some of my best goal setting tips, so you can rock your business in 2015! Are you ready?  

Questions to Ask Yourself: 

When you are thinking about goals for 2015, ask yourself the following questions: Then ask yourself the following questions: Does the goal excite me? Does the goal feel potentially life-changing? The answer to both questions should be a resounding “Yes!”



The Big One:

The big one I am referring to is the biggest goal you want to acheive in 2015.  It can be anything you want such as quitting your full time job, or making 1,000/month.  In all honesty, it is completely up to you :)


Words of Caution:

Be careful to not bite off more than you can chew.   The worst thing you can do to yourself as a business owner is to get overwhelmed and wind up not doing anything for your goals.  Take it day by day, one step at a time.  

Break It Down:

When it comes to achieving your goals, the most important part is breaking them down into small, manageable, and actionable tasks.  The big one can be really scary to look at, but when you break it down into smaller tasks, all of a sudden, it isn't as scary anymore!


Conclusion:

Once you have your big goals determined, and have it broken down into smaller actionable tasks, you are well on your way to achieving them.  Trust me, it is a great feeling when you start to see all of your hard work paying off!


To Your Success,
