1 5 Steps to Getting Started w/ SETTING GOALS FREE COURSE

2 It can be tough to just sit down and set goals for yourself and your business. How do you know something is important enough that it should even be a goal? Is the goal you have in mind worth the time investment you d have to give it? What if you re not sure whether or not a particular goal you have in mind will make a big enough impact for your business? The following 5 Steps are ones anyone can take in order to get started with setting goals, and we like to refer to these as the 5 Steps of Reflection

3 1 Revisit your previous goals Your first step is to revisit previous goals you ve set for yourself and your business. Set aside 1 hour, or a couple of 30-minute time slots. Sit down and write out the goals you ve previously set for yourself. You'll use your goals to help guide you through the remaining 4 steps of reflection. That said, what you reflect on in this first step certainly shouldn't be limited to JUST your goals. Looking back, there might be moments where you ve made a pivot, taken advantage of unexpected opportunities, or done a lot of things that weren't directly related to your goals. Write down the moments that have had an impact on you or on your businesses over the past several months or even year.

4 2 What worked? Now that you have your goals to guide you, you have a place to start when it comes to reflecting on what has worked well for you. Write out the actions you ve taken that have netted you positive results. An example of this might be that you started repurposing your blog content on a podcast, and your podcast has helped you grow your reach and audience. Therefore, repurposing your blog content on a podcast has worked well for you.

5 3 What didn't work? There are also some things that probably haven t worked so well for you. Write out the actions you ve taken that have not netted you positive results. An example of this might be that you did a pre-launch for an ebook you were writing, but you were only able to do 10 pre-sales when your goal was 50. Therefore, either the way you marketed the ebook, or the actual content of the ebook, didn t work well for you.

6 4 Biggest lessons learned Now that you ve written out the goals and actions you ve taken over the past several months or even year and you ve reflected on what has worked well for you and what hasn t worked well for you, it s time to pull out your lessons learned. Based on Steps 2 & 3, write out your biggest lessons learned. For example, one of your biggest lessons learned might have been that your target audience really loves audio (you repurposed your blog into a podcast, and as a result you grew your audience.) Another example might be that you ve realized you re not 100% clear on how to present your products and/or services to your audience (you offered a pre-sale on an ebook, and you didn t reach your goal of 50 pre-sales).

7 5 Looking ahead This is where we get to write out the goals we want to set and accomplish based on the reflection we ve just done. You now know what: Your previous goals and actions were Worked well Didn t work well Your biggest lessons learned are Based on all of this information you ve just collected, what goals will you set for yourself for the coming months or even year to help you grow personally, and/or to help you grow your business?
