Goal setting isn’t just a January 1 setting your resolutions for the year ahead type event. Goal setting is something that business owners should do on a regular basis. Yes, you will have goals that may take a year to achieve, but I bet that you have mini-goals that you want to achieve weekly or monthly, right?
How can amp up the probability of your achieving your goals? Here are steps you can take to help make them happen:
- Choose a concrete goal. One that is achievable. Don’t set a goal that will set you up for failure.
- Write the goal down. Whether you write it on a file in your computer, on a note book or a sticky note by your desk, having written it down makes it not only visible but helps give it a life of its own.
- Don’t keep your goal a secret. Announcing your goal — whether to a loved one, a business colleague or on a social media page will help hold you accountable.
- Get to work on it. It doesn’t help to set a goal if you do nothing about it. Once you’ve determined what it is and have written it down and shared it, get to it!
