Baby Steps For Setting & Reaching Big Business Goals

What are some areas you’ve found success in 

by taking 

baby steps?

We often set enormous goals for ourselves, with good intentions of increasing productivity, health, business, and organization.  But what often happens is, while the goals are made for our own benefit, it feels too large to ever achieve them, so we drop the ball and give up.  

So why not start with the small, short-term, attainable goals?  After all, the smaller goals are what we use as stepping stones to lead us to the big defining goals of life.  Everyone has different long-term desires, whether for more financial freedom, growing our business by a certain percentage, becoming debt free, or even just ending positive on the financial books each month.  

But what is the desire that ultimately drives you to strive for your goals?  What is it that you think about the most?  You must make the decision to think about what you’re striving for and why.  The biggest challenge (and best kept secret) in attaining a goal is keeping your eye on it.  We are energized by the possibilities of actually achieving certain goals we’ve set out for ourselves, but we immediately get overwhelmed with the day-to-day challenges of life, which drain us of every other desire except to just make it through another day, week, or month, and then we realize it’s been another year.  And it can be so discouraging to acknowledge that once again, we’re in the same boat we were in last year.

“[Have] you ever tried to tackle a really big job? One of those jobs where the goal looks overwhelming like losing 100 pounds or writing a Book? How about making 1000 cold calls! Surely that would be a great goal to set. There is a big secret to getting these kinds of things done, and with low anxiety.”  Check out this article for not only making, but actually reaching, such business goals realistically.  

The next question then becomes, what will you do differently this year to reach those goals?
