Setting goals in your business is always going to be a continuous process. You will have daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly goals that you will be working toward reaching in your business constantly. In this blog/vlog I go over three tips to help you with setting your goals. These can be applied to any business or personal goal.
Tip #1: Your Goal Must Be Realistic
Make sure your goal is realistic. You have to be truthful with yourself and not set goals that are clearly out of your reach. You will be setting yourself up for failure and you will be extremly disappointed with yourself when you do not reach your goal, so make sure that it is realistic. For example, if you have a goal of losing 100 pounds, you would not say that you want to lose that 100 pounds within the next two weeks. You will be setting your self up for failure, it is next to impossible to lose 100 pounds in two weeks. So reach for goals that are attainable for you and where you are at in this season. Be truthful with yourself.
Tip #2: Create a plan and a schedule
To accomplish any goal you must need a plan and also a schedule to keep you on track. I remember when my husband and I decided to get married and we set a date for the wedding to be 6 months after our engagement date. I was sooooo happy and excited, but quickly realized that I had to hurry up and plan a wedding. My wedding planner that I originally had helping me backed out on me the first month and most wedding planners that I wanted to work with would not work with me because they wanted 9 to 12 months to plan. So I had to do the wedding myself.(planning, finding a venue, invitations, décor and all) I never had any experience with event planning let alone planning a wedding, but I was up for the challenge. I had no where to start, but a friend of mine suggested that I purchase a wedding planner book and that was pretty much all I needed to complete the wedding of my dreams. Even though it was a little difficult planning because at the time I lived in SC, planning a wedding that was located in FL gave me a few headaches, but I can honestly say that I enjoyed putting it together and discovered a secret gift of creation that I had locked inside of me. I made sure I stuck to the plan that the wedding planner book instructed and the wedding ended up being a success. So make sure with any goal that you are pursing, have a plan and more importantly MAKE SURE YOU STICK TO THE PLAN. A few pics of my wedding are below...
Tip #3: Implement An Accountability System
Implementing an accountablity system is so important. Honestly, we as humans can be very lazy. We can procastinate and trick ourselves to believing that we will complete a task or goal in a few days, than the days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months and then before you know it a year has gone by and you have not even started on your goal that you set out for. Having an accountability system, group or partner would be the best thing for us lazy folks, and I am preaching to the choir because I can be very lazy at times, especially if a goal is something that I do not enjoy doing. That is one of the reasons why I created the BPbyP group on Facebook. In this group we help each other stay accountable to one another and we also have free business trainings and resources to help others in their business. This group has been a life saver for me because I have developed so many wonderful relationships with genuine people, while learning and having success in my business.
