We talk about resolutions every year around this time. Sometimes it\u2019s about making and keeping those resolutions, but often it\u2019s a joke about how long we can go before we admit defeat. That\u2019s the problem with resolutions: without SMART Goals<\/a>, we aren\u2019t able to make the kind of progress we\u2019re hoping to see in ourselves. What does it really <\/em>mean to eat healthier? And how do you just find more balance in life? How do you measure that? And when do you get to say \u201cOK \u2013 I\u2019ve reached my goal!\u201d And if you never reach your goal, how can you celebrate success and set a new goal? It\u2019s a cycle that sets you up for failure.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s OK \u2013 we threw our resolutions out the window a long time ago and we think you should too.<\/p>\n

Instead of resolutions, we\u2019re focused on SMART, 90-Day goals that we can use to keep ourselves motivated and help us to make real, actual progress. We do this ourselves and <\/em>we encourage our clients to do the same. In fact, our Strategic Business Mindset<\/a> program \u2013 our most popular and famous program \u2013 is actually built on the whole concept of 90-Day Goals.<\/p>\n

Why 90 days? Our brains already think in terms of quarters and seasons when it comes to the year and three months is just short enough to keep you motivated and just long enough that you have time to make real progress. For Growth Coaches and clients, 90 days is the sweet spot for goal setting. Knowing you have to accomplish something by the end of 2022 doesn\u2019t sound nearly as pressing as knowing it needs to be done by the end of March, right? That feels both urgent and doable.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on board with the whole \u201cthrow out the resolutions and focus on 90-day goals\u201d thing, we can help you get started.<\/p>\n

First, you have to focus on the goal itself. Creating a SMART goal<\/a> means wording your goal in such a way that it is Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Relevant and Time Bound. Let\u2019s do a really easy one. If you want to grow your business in 2022, you\u2019d want to set some parameters to make that goal SMART. For example, you might say: I want to grow the online portion of my business by 3 percent by March 31, 2022. That gives you something firm to aim for that\u2019s specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time bound. If you reach that goal before March 31, you can create a new goal. If you don\u2019t make it, then on April 1, it\u2019s time to reevaluate.<\/p>\n

Secondly, you have to create plans to actually reach the goals you set. You can\u2019t do the same thing you\u2019re doing today and just hope for improvements. What kinds of things can you adjust within the time frame of your goal to help you reach that goal? If you\u2019re looking to grow your business, maybe your action items include partnering with a local nonprofit or hiring a company to help with SEO or offering new training opportunities to your sales team?<\/p>\n
