Tips to Meet Business Goals before the End of 2016
Filed under: Business Tips
Do you feel like the year flew by? It is hard to believe that it is almost the end of October and there are only two months left in the year. Right now is a great opportunity to take an assessment of your business progress. Are you on track to meet your goals for the year? A lot can happen in a few months, so you can still reach your goals before the end of the year.
As a manager, business owner, or entrepreneur, it is essential that you are proactive in setting goals and taking action to meet those goals. These steps will propel you to higher levels of success. Don’t be discouraged if you haven’t met your annual goals yet because there are a few things that you can do to finish the year on the right note:
Outsource the Busy Work
Do you find that you spend a lot of time on busy work? These seemingly simple tasks are taking away from your ability to focus on other tasks that will help you meet your goals. Find an outsourcer to handle the busy work, such as a personal assistant or bookkeeper. Then, focus the extra time on the steps that will help you meet your goal.
Wake Up Earlier
If you are having difficulty finding time to dedicate to your goal, assess your schedule to figure out where you can free up an hour or two for focused effort. If necessary, get out of bed a little earlier so that you can put time in before everyone else gets to the office. These early morning hours can be a productive way to take action on your goals. Pick a few days each week and stay consistent with this effort through the end of the year.
Hire a Coach
Some people have a hard time reaching their goals without support. A business coach can offer advice and encouragement to keep you heading in the right direction. Another benefit of working with a business coach is that you will be held accountable to take specific action steps each week. This accountability might be the extra motivation that you need to step up your performance over the next few months.
