Setting Goals:

Is your business reaching its highest potential?

I find at this time of year, I begin to think about setting goals for my business. I’m sure it has a lot to do with the thought of new beginnings looming as the end of the year approaches. So I was delighted when I came across Monica Castenetto, a consultant who has been coaching people for 15 years on making change happen.

She was talking about her journey, and it got me thinking about my business journey and what I want to achieve next year; and how goal setting plays such an important part in helping you get to your destination. But is there more to goal setting than simply coming up with an objective?

• Goal setting getting it right

• Facing up to uncertainties  

• It’s (almost) all about you

• Let me write that down

• Accountability

• Going one step further

• Going too far

What does success mean to you?

The challenge therefore for managers, entrepreneurs and business leaders, is to think carefully about what their goals are, and ought to be, at a given time and under particular circumstances. For the most part that means making sure you know what success looks like for you and what it will take to get there. Breaking down challenges into manageable tasks helps maintain motivation, but aiming for the wrong goals can be misleading and ultimately might hamper your path to success.

But, whatever you do, you should always aim to enjoy and relish the challenges you set for yourself, and learn to celebrate your successes in style, in any way that feels right. After all, you’ve earned it!
