Every business must have goals. Your business objectives and goals that you will strive to accomplish in order to generate a framework for success. Whether it is sales targets, company growth, or a number of employees, hitting these goals enables you to determine how well – or poorly – you are doing. Then, use your performance to inform your business plan goals and objectives strategy going forward.

The planning and execution of any project will completely depend on the objectives you have set for it. If you’ve set the mark too high, you risk falling short of your goals. Whereas targets that are too easy will fail to motivate your team to exceed expectations. Your objectives need to strike the right balance between being ambitious and realistic.

To help you steer your business in the right direction, here are four tips for defining your business objectives and targets.

Define your vision. What do you want to achieve in the upcoming year? This will help guide all of operations and investments made within the company.

- Envision what success looks like for your business, whether it is profitability or meeting certain goals that are set by management; this will be used as a benchmark throughout each stage of growth (ease into longer term objectives).

- Think about how far away from reaching these targets is at various points during development stages (start with short term target). - Consider what measures might need to be taken if there isn't enough progress towards either longterm goal(s) or shorter term targets in relation to timeframes.

Lisa: I recommend you to do that! I have talked about him before: :) I met him at a philosophical conference in New Hampshire in 1998. I have listened to his cassette course on goal setting and read several of his books.

Best Premises,
