It is time to set some goals!!

It is pretty much an undisputed fact that setting goals makes things happen. I was out meeting with clients this week preparing budgets for next year. Since we work a lot with small business owners the first question is usually “what are your goals for next year”. That question started a great conversation with one of our clients. This particular client set a revenue goal last year and is very excited that this year they will make it and then thinking back he discussed how a few years ago he set a whole list of goals for himself both personally and professionally and that he has accomplished all of these goals with very little focus on these goals. He feels that just the process of setting the goals programs your brain and gives it a target to aim for.


So set a few goals and be brave about it. It certainly can’t hurt. As business owners I think it is not only important for us to set goals but to set goals for our employees and have our employees set a few too.
