How effective goal setting can grow your business

Apr 7

I bet you have a clear sense of your goals over the next 1-3 years?

Whether they’re to grow your market through the number of client contracts and policies, increase your customer leads, put a new service into the marketplace, acquire a new property within your business, or add new team members….we typically have a sense of what we want to accomplish this year or over the next few years.

Knowing where we want to get to is key for effective goal setting.

But, how do we ensure we’re making regular progress so we don’t get half way through the year and realize how much time has slipped by - slowing growth?

I personally love the topic of goal-setting and working towards my own goals, and this can STILL happen to me if I don’t apply a framework and stick to it.

What is an effective framework?

It’s a framework that helps you break your goal down into timely and meaningful steps.

First: Identify your 3-year goals

Second: From there, where would you like to be 1 year from now, related to your 3-year goals?

Third: Break down your 1-year goals into quarterly milestones.

We need bite-sized pieces over a shorter period of time to make consistent progress and to be able to work these into our schedules.

This is how effective goal setting can grow your business - by creating a framework that supports goal achievement and progress.

It’s always easier to work on a piece of a goal than the entire goal at one time.

If you think of your 1-year goal, what would the milestones (or key progress) look like over each quarter?

What can you do THIS quarter to get closer to your 1-year goal?

What are YOU focused on this quarter? I would love to hear it.

Me - I’m testing a new lead system this quarter - that’s my milestone (to have testing completed). This is part of a broader goal I have to be able to connect with more business owners in various Industries.

NOW is YOUR time,
