The Highway That Makes Turnarounds Possible
Product life-cycles are shortening, with new products hitting the market faster and faster. At the same time, consumers are spending more time on the Internet looking for products and services, and seeking out suppliers who can deliver them with maximum value at a competitive price.

I thought seeing it’s the end of the year I wouldn’t focus on setting goals – everybody else does that, albeit not very well. I’d focus on achieving goals. So here’s some thoughts.

Focus on your goals

Here’s a question: Where do you want to be by the end of next year, and exactly how will you get there? If you don’t hesitate with your answer, I’ll bet you’ll reach it. If you have to really think about it and even break into a cold sweat, well, good luck to you. So let’s break down the components in setting crystal- clear goals.

Big-picture objective. What is the ultimate goal? What is your major objective?

Smaller objectives. What “milestones” do you have along the way to measure yourself? Where do you want to be at the end of next week, next month, or next quarter?

Specific tactics you must implement. What will you do to reach the main and smaller objectives? What must you change personally in order to have a chance? How will you reward yourself when you reach it? How will you celebrate?

Are you absolutely willing to do these things?

Can you answer these questions? If you’re serious about having your Best Year Yet, I suggest you take some time to sit down with the following questions. Think about your answers. Challenge yourself. Write them down. Then go to work!

1. What are you going to do to improve your business and business related knowledge this year?

2. How many clients will you try to work with? Customers you will attract? What do you need to do to make that happen? Can you develop an action plan for each?

3. What will you do to ensure you’re doing the best for your clients and adding more value to those relationships? Can you attract even more of their business? How will you do that?

4. What will you do to improve your physical, mental and spiritual health this year?

5. What, specifically, are your revenue and income goals for the year? How does that break down into monthly and quarterly goals?

6. What will you need to do to increase that number by an additional 10%?

7. What are you going to do every day to keep your attitude at a high level?

8. How much time are you going to spend, daily, to improve your own prospecting and sales skills?
