TUESDAY CHALLENGE: Setting the right goal for 2017

Your challenge this week is to start the process of selecting your most important goal for 2017. What follows is a building block method that should eventually lead you to your primary 2017 goal.

• Start by listing the most important thing that you would like to accomplish in or for each of these areas during 2017. Note that this list does not include your business activities.
  • Family
  • Community
  • Spiritual
  • Financial
  • Physical

These five subjects form the foundation of your life. In order to be able to truly focus on your 2017 business goal, these five areas have to be taken into consideration. Give the necessary time and thought in answering this question.

• The focus now shifts to your business. In each of the following business areas work on listing things that you would like to accomplish:
  • Cash flow
  • Marketing
    • Digital, print, etc.
  • Products/services
  • Staff
  • Office tools
  • Accounting
  • Internal systems
  • Customer relations

You may want to add to this business list items that are particular to your business. Just like in the first set of questions, take the time to review the past year in each area and list what you would like to improve.

When both lists are completed and you are satisfied with your answers, then put on your thinking cap and select one overall goal that would allow you to accomplish everything on your two lists. Make sure that the final goal is realistic and well defined. The rest of the process is the development of a “strategic focus business plan” which you can use with your Accountability Tracker to make it become a reality.
