90 Day Goals

Do you set goals in your business? If you are not, you should be! Goals are an important part of our success in this industry. I personally set Yearly, Monthly, Weekly and Daily goals. Small action steps compounded over time will help you achieve your big goal(s).

We just got back from a week vacation at our cabin up on Mille Lacs Lake. It was absolutely beautiful. Even though, I was on vacation, I was still marketing and checking emails. I can't stay away from my work, I love what I do!

I had some time to reflect, regroup and set some new goals. I am fired up and ready to go! I have decided to start a 90 day blitz and just go crazy. I have some income goals in mind that I want to meet by the end of the year so to do that I am going to break my goals down and make smaller easier goals.

Here is what I do, decide what I what to accomplish, write it down and then do some reverse engineering:

For example, say you have a goal to reach 5 people per day, you have to figure out how many leads you need to reach those 5 people and then figure out how much marketing you need to do to generate those leads. Does that make sense? I hope so!

That is exactly what I have done while I was sitting on my patio at the lake. And having everything in writing makes your goals more real and more achievable and you have something to hold yourself accountable.

So, let's get busy and set some goals. Here are a few quick goal setting tips to help you out:

1. Create a Plan
Get an idea of what you want in terms of short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals. Make an effort to create a plan that satisfies your needs as well as utilizes your strengths in terms of business. Your goal attainment plan includes the basic steps you will need to take to achieve goal success. Your plan maps out the success route for each one of your goals. Without a business plan, it is much harder to maintain direction and set up your goals.

2. Write Down Your Goals
Writing down your goals makes them more powerful. It gives them definition and, as such, they give you a focal point that you can direct your energies toward. Begin by creating a document and writing down your business goals. The easiest way is to write a list of your goals as you think of them, without worrying about their importance or priority.

3. Prioritize Your Goals
Once you have a list of business goals, the next step is to organize them in terms of their importance. Goals that need to be accomplished first have more priority than ones that can wait. The idea is to list your business goals by when they need to be done. Immediate goals should be at the top of the list. Keep it simple by focusing on your five most immediate goals. Work on them first. 

4. Set Time Frames
Since goals are destination points along your road to business success, each goal must have a time frame in terms of your overall business plan. Setting a time frame is what distinguishes goals from dreams or fantasies. It’s essential that your time frame be realistic. Otherwise your goals become unattainable and the process will frustrate rather than empower you.

5. Multitask Your Goals
When you have multiple goals that you are working on, it becomes necessary to multitask. This means you are continuously working on more than one goal at a time. Establishing a daily list where you write out the things you want to accomplish that day makes multitasking more manageable. Remember to keep your daily business goals to-do list short and to the point.

6. Balance Work and Home
Balancing work and home is a major issue some people. Your business goals should improve your home life and make it so you have more rather than less time for your family. Setting business goals is a way of managing your business dealings so you are left with time for your responsibilities and pleasures at home.

7. Be Ready to Adapt
Expect the unexpected when setting your business goals. Sometimes your goals have to be adapted because of unexpected situations and events. This means you will need to regularly evaluate their goals. If they are not working for you, adapt them so that they meet your needs. Always be flexible enough to tweak your goals to achieve better results. The better the results, the more you gain.

8. Believe in Yourself and Your Goals
It’s important to believe in your abilities and that you can accomplish your goals. Have faith in yourself and in your inherent worthiness. One way to do this is to write down the goals that you have attained. Every day affirm your personal power by reviewing your success list to remind yourself that you can deliver what you promise. Every time you actually accomplish a goal it empowers you. It gives you the momentum and energy to go out into the world and achieve more of your goals. As a result, you become unstoppable in your quest for business success.
