What if we got to reset? Like a new January 1? Did you make New Year’s resolutions? Did you set big goals for yourself and your business? We’re halfway through 2024. If you split your goals into 90-day cycles, you only have two cycles left! I encourage you to take this opportunity to reset.
Maybe the first half of the year didn’t go as planned. Business slowed or your family had a crisis. Life happens to the best of us. But those challenges don’t define you or your ability to achieve your goals.
If you’re committed to getting back in the saddle and making your goals a reality, let’s dive in.
Reflect
Instead of focusing on what you haven’t done, brainstorm your wins over the last six months. Maybe you got a great referral, spoke on a podcast or launched a new product. Maybe some personal wins are a regular gym routine or finishing a home improvement project.
Check in with your goals. How is it going? Are you ahead? Behind?
Reevaluate
Reevaluate where you spend your time. How can you be more efficient? What are your biggest time wasters? And how can you still fit in that gym time, sleep, reading, and family outings that are so hard to fit into the life of a small business owner?
Considering your wins, how do they align with your current goals? Do your goals from Jan 1 need to shift course?
Brainstorm your goals for the next six months. Then choose the most important to tackle first.
Recommit
Research and plan what you need to make these goals a reality. Download the free The Entrepreneur’s Goal Setting and Habit Building Playbook for a clear outline to help you set this plan in motion.
Break up your goals into the next 30, 60, 90 days to help you stay in motion.
Reward
After your goals and planning are set, how will you reward yourself when you are done? A real, tangible reward is best to motivate you. This could be a new suit, a night out at your favorite restaurant, a trip to the beach—I’m sure you can think of something!
Resources
Reach out to your networking groups for resources. Whether you are crushing goals or feeling crushed, I promise you are not alone.
