Goal setting is critical to the success of any business;
sometimes you need to hit the “reset” button, this will avail the opportunity
to think ahead with hope and excitement about what new idea to actualize.
As a business person you need a level of self discipline
towards setting and actualizing a goal,
get the below successful steps towards goal settings and actualization.
Be Specific
It is important for every entrepreneur to clearly communicate
the tasks or expectations that team members must accomplish or demonstrate to
achieve successful results. Performance goals should function in a way that
aligns with the growth and development of each member / team along with that of
your business.
Be Realistic
We should set goals that are challenging but attainable
based on our knowledge, skills and access to necessary resources when carrying
out our daily tasks. We can also seek input from more experienced business
colleague alike, not forgetting to monitor and update your goals as circumstances
change in order to sustain and improve performance.
Be Deadline-Driven
Realistic time-frame for achieving goals to increase
productivity should be set. For ongoing or long-term goals, regularly monitor
progress and provide feedback to keep subordinates/team motivated and focused
on the desired outcome of all set goals.
Prioritize
When goals are numerous or complex, it is easy for us to
lose sense of priority and simply jump from one task to another without order
or focus. However, ranking is helpful because it helps guide us and gives
understanding on the relative importance of each goal.
Be Measurable
We need to clearly understand how our appraisals are
measured individually. Some performance, such as sales numbers, can be measured
quantitatively, while others, such as customer service, are qualitative. This
helps to shed more light on areas that needs improvement and adjustments.
Success is the sum total of small effort repeated Day-In; Day Out... Robert Collier
