Goal setting is one thing, keeping our priorities moving is quite another. It’s important to know that the goals we’ve set are doable and even more important to understand the priorities and keep them front and center.
Take your business, for example, will the cash flow you need to operate be there if you meet your weekly, bi-weekly and monthly goals? If not, the goals are unrealistic, if so, it’s important to make them happen so there’s no sidetracking or derailing forcing the need to head in another direction for cash flow from alternate choices. This usually leads to disaster or at least a larger struggle and is not part of the plan, so don’t do it.
As a small business owner, there are often so many things to do, each potentially taking focus away from the priorities and none that can be let go. It is, however, extremely important to keep the priority goals moving and more importantly, moving on schedule.
This juggling act may take time and a lot of practice to perfect! If you, like me started a business on a shoestring, you can’t take too long. Having a business with any employees or overhead starts eating away all the savings you may have quickly so it’s paramount to know what’s needed, what the goals are and clearly understand the priorities and practice until all those needs are met. That was the plan, that’s how the goal comes about and that’s what separates us from all the rest.
It’s already been said if it were easy, everyone would do it!
Keep Priorities Front & Center!
