“Lose Weight, Start a Hobby, Get Organized, Find Love…”

We see it every year, people making lists, preparing agendas, and setting their resolutions for the New Year. Unfortunately, nearly 80% of New Year’s resolutions will have failed by February.

It may seem foolish to partake in a process that seems doomed to fail, but as businesses owners, we know that goal setting is an essential part of business. When done well, the right goals can keep us focused and direct us toward success.

Of course achieving your goals isn’t easy, but it is necessary. With this in mind, we have outlined three keys to success in making and achieving your goals in 2019.

3 Keys to Achieving Your Goals & Growing your Business

1. Have Clear Terms

You may think the most important step is simply creating goals, but crafting vague objectives can cause more uncertainty than success. The crucial component is creating goals that are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time bound.

2. Develop a Strategy

Having a strategy simplifies your decision making and outlines the direction and priorities of your goals. Additionally, having a strategy means having metrics for evaluating your success.

3. Put Your Money (And Time) Where Your Mouth Is

Sheer will just is not enough. It takes having the proper knowledge and tools to face the obstacles that are keeping you from achieving your goals. Developing that knowledge and those tools often takes investment of your time and money. The time and money you invest in yourself now will mean less time, money, and effort spent overcoming obstacles in the future.
