Its first quarter goals check in. How did you make out? As the new year approached, we set personal and business goals. It’s always a good practice to review those goals at the end of each quarter. That time has arrived. It is goal check in time. If you missed those blog posts, I have attached the links. How to Set Personal Goals How to Make Business Goals After each quarter, I make a practice to review the goals that I set. When you review your goals each quarter it is easier to see how you are progressing. A good practice is to compare what your original goal was and then see if you are on track. If you are great. If not don’t despair, all is not lost. See where you have gotten off track and then make the necessary corrections.
Personal Goals Check in Questions
How is it going?
Are you satisfied with how things are going so far??
Are you being realistic?
Is there anything you would like to add or delete?
The above questions are just an example of what you can consider when examining your personal goals. You know the goals you set and the expectations that you have for yourself and so your questions may vary.
Business Goals Check-in
Examining your business goals are slightly different. Making sure your business succeeds is very important and so meeting and or exceeding your business goals have to be treated that way. Review your objectives for your business. Then examine whether you are on track for meeting your short- and long-term goals.
Below is a sample list of what you should consider when you check in on the progress of your business and how it is lining up with the goals that you have set.
Is your business on target for where you imagined at this time?
Are you seeing the growth you projected?
Is your income consistent or increasing?
Are you taking on too much at this time?
Do you need to adjust or change some of your goals?
Again, these questions serve as a guide for what to look for when you are examining your business goals.
Once, you have done a detailed breakdown for the first quarter on you personal and business goals. You are better equipped to face the next quarter. You know what to expect and are being realistic in how you approach your goals. Any adjustments and changes that are needed you are able to head off before problems can arise. It is called being proactive rather than being reactive.
The Status of your First Quarter Goals
That is why knowing the status of your first quarter goals is so important. If you are not sure how you are doing. You won’t know unless you take the time out to really examine how you are doing. It is a great tool to stay organized and successful.
There are those that may say it does not take all that. I am doing great, and I don’t set goals or do a check in. Well, that may work for them but for the rest of us, not so much. Staying focused and on task requires us to prepare and have a pathway to our success. That success is mapped out in the form of goal setting.
Now that you know the status of your goals for the first quarter, use it to inspire you to continue pushing forward. May bigger and better things be on your horizon as you move through this year. May your business thrive, and may you prosper in all that you do. That is my desire for you. Until next week my readers continue……...Living your Dreams out Loud
