Business Goals for the New Year
As we begin a new year, it’s easy to make a long list of goals and also easy to lose focus when there are so many. I’ve got some tricks for setting goals that you can actually achieve, plus a recap of my 2020 goals and where I ended up!
To keep things simple and more attainable, I recommend setting goals in three categories: personal, business, and family. I set 1-2 goals for each category (for business, I recommend one “realistic” and one “dream big”). Then, make an action plan for each of those goals (be sure to write it down or print it out) & put it somewhere you can visually see every single day. This keeps you motivated and accountable.
Ready for my 2020 goals in review?
Business
Grow my business to $5k+ per month. Achieved! Building a business takes time AND a hell of a lot of motivation - but this can be your income report in one year if you START today & slowly inch towards your goals. Pay most attention to my Project & Retainer income as that is my Virtual Assistant work income (about 25-30 hours per week). The other categories are other aspects of my business I have built by creating educational content for other entrepreneurs!
Only work with clients I absolutely love and connect with. It was tough to say no at times, but I did pretty well with this one and setting boundaries!
Personal
Take better care of my body by sleeping more & eating well (exercising is fun for me, so it’s never had to be a “goal”). But my sleep routine & eating habits were off to a rocky start in 2020 and, honestly, it took two miscarriages for me to finally stop and take better care of my body. I’m definitely not perfect, and sometimes it takes hard moments for me to stop and reevaluate.
Family
Work less on the weekends and spend more time with my husband. I’d say this was achieved after I reevaluated the work I was doing on the weekends towards the middle of the year, and I absolutely love our weekends together now!
My goals for 2021 look a little different in the sense that I want to REINVEST more money into my business. I am currently diving into a 6 month Mastermind with Christina Rice and am SO excited to learn more and be able to teach YOU what I learn!
