2022 is right around the corner which means that right now is the time to set your business goals for 2022.
It is critical to set goals for anything you want to achieve, whether that is in your personal life or for your business.
Goal setting is especially critical in business because the day-to-day life of a business owner is very busy which means you need to have overarching goals you are working towards. By having goals you are working towards, you will have an anchor for what you are aiming towards and you will be driven in that direction.
Business goals will help you overcome the potential chaos of daily life as a business owner.
Research has shown people who set goals are far more likely to succeed.
1) Focus on your gross profit
For some reason, writing your goals down just works.
I (Tash) have a notebook where I write my goals down every year. I have a dedicated notebook for this which I call my “goal setting workbook” and it is very helpful.
Writing your goals down works because you actually need to put pen to paper. You need to articulate in words what your business goals are precisely, without them being vague ideas.
With your business goals written down, you can continually come back to them throughout the year.
2) Break goals down into bite-size chunks
When you write your goals down you should have big goals and small goals.
Your big goals are the overarching goals you wish to achieve for your business for the year.
Your smaller goals will be the bite-size chunks you need to achieve along the way.
This works because sometimes the big goals can feel overwhelming and may not give you a clear course of action.
With your small goals you are able to both execute on them and manage them because they are potentially less overwhelming.
3) Go somewhere to set your goals
Sometimes the best ideas come in a fresh and new environment.
I (Llew) go away somewhere every year to set my goals. It doesn’t have to be anything super fancy, just somewhere different and spacious for me to open my mind and really have clarity around what type of goals I should be setting.
When you go somewhere new, hopefully new ideas will come. With those new ideas, you can take your business to new places.
We wish you the best with setting your business goals for 2022!
