You really want to make a success of your business? Well, it’s important to define your business goals, especially before you get started but if you have started, you could still write out your goals. You shouldn’t just know it off hand but it should be written down where you can see them daily.
At it’s simplest, a goal is just something you aim for. But goals are powerful contributors to successful business growth in several ways.
To begin with, the process of setting goals forces you to think through what you want from your business and how growth may–or may not–provide that. This process helps suggest directions for pursuing that growth, which can greatly improve your chances of achieving your goals in the first place.
Your goals must be (SMART). That is:
1. SPECIFIC
Don’t make it a random statement but something specific for that business. That way it will be easier to identify and work with.
2. MEASURABLE
Your goal must be measurable. It should be countable or the value must be quantified.
3. ATTAINMENT
This must be a goal that you can achieve easily and not letting all things go wrong and be perceived as a bad person.
4. REALISTIC
Your goal should be real. You should have achieved that kind of goal before or close to it. Don’t bring them up out of the blues.
5. TIME
Your goals must have a time frame and it should be met. If not, look for how to get it done better and check out what went wrong.
