Let's piggy back off last weeks blog about writing your business plan. I spoke about writing the goals sections first, and reviewing it each time you start a new section of the business plan. This will help you out by keeping your focus.
Your goals section should include everything you want to get out of your business. I believe you should also write a separate goal section outside of your business plan that is just for you. What do you want to get out of your start-up business personally?
I find that if I remind myself of why I am going through the trouble, heartache and sleepless nights of starting a business it helps me stay motivated to keep going.
Here are some goal ideas to get your started on listing your own:
"I want to have a list of loyal customers, for life."
"I want to be a leading innovator in my industry, paving the way for [fill in the blank]."
"I want to change the way the world views America through [fill in the blank]."
"I want to create jobs for life."
"I want to bring back great customer service."
"I want to [fill in your own goal here]."
These are just a few ideas, there are so many reasons why you might be starting your own business. Personally, I wanted to start a business for reasons that only included myself and my family and then it grew into what I could do for the community.
My goals include:
Financial Freedom
Be my own boss
Put my ideas to use, outside the corporate cubicles
Guide and help others reach their goals through business start-ups
Now that you have an idea of what your goals might entail, write them where you will see them everyday. Review them, recite them and work towards them.
Happy goal writing!
