Goal Setting for Success

In everything you attempt to succeed at, or invest time in, there is a direct correlation between goal setting and success.

In everything you attempt to succeed at, or invest time in, there is a direct correlation between goal setting and success. 

So it stands to reason that it’s only when you start setting goals in your business that you will start seeing results. 

But it is important for you to be setting the right goals, both for your business and yourself. 

Setting unrealistic goals can lead to a lack of results, which can then lead to a lack of motivation.

But how do you know what goals to set?

How do you decide what will stretch you but will still be achievable?

What’s the difference between a goal and an objective? What even is a SMART goal?

(Well, SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound but we’ll explain that in more detail in the workshop!)

Goal Setting For Success is an interactive workshop session, with practical exercises to complete in a detailed and user friendly workbook.

Rather than setting goals solo, this workshop means you have support and advice on hand as you work through and share your business goals.

Together we will cover : 

  • The importance of setting goals.

  • The difference between goals and objectives.

  • The SMART Goals Framework

  • How to set specific goals.

  • How to set business goals.

  • How to measure progress with key performance indicators (KPIs)

  • Understanding why sharing goals is important.

Accompanied by two activities :

  • Activity One: Personal and Professional Aspirations.

  • Activity Two: Creating SMART Goals.

This course is perfect for anyone at the following stages of their careers:

Starting their business and creating an initial business plan.

Ready to start their annual planning

Periodic strategic planning

Going through business changes

To ensure that their business objectives are still relevant, achievable and aligned to overall mission and vision.

Let’s re-assess the key reasons why goal setting is important in business:

  • Clear Objectives: Setting goals helps define clear objectives and priorities. It provides a roadmap for where you want to go and how you plan to get there.

  • Effective Planning: Goals are the foundation for planning. They help outline the steps you need to take to get to where you want to be. 

  • Measurable Outcomes: Setting SMART goals allows you to track your progress and evaluate performance. This will give you clarity on what is working well and what needs improvement.

  • Accountability: Goals create a sense of self when you know what you are aiming for, you are way more likely to stick with it.

  • Continuous Improvement: Goals encourage continuous improvement because they are, in effect, setting benchmarks for performance, meaning you can regularly assess your progress and tweak things if you need to.

Goal setting is fundamental to business success.

If you do not set goals, you cannot monitor your performance, and if you cannot monitor your performance you cannot measure your success.

Join us to set your business on the right track by nailing your clear, challenging but achievable goals.
