I run a small business with my wife, and we have found that setting reasonable goals can be very helpful. I like to use goal setting as a way to drive our business forward. We tend to set two types of goals for our business. The first are the short term goals. These goals are typically two or three months out. They are important for a couple of reasons. First, they should be small progress markers for your business. For example, a short term goal may be to increase the traffic to your website by a given amount. Second, they give you a reason to feel good. Even though they are small, you should still pat yourself on the back. The other type of goal we set are long term goals. We try to set these out at one year and more. Long term goals are obviously bigger and need to be directly supported by your short term goals. For example if you set a long term goal of being able to expand your business from 1 to 5 employees, that goal had better be supported by a series of short term goals that will make it possible. This was a very interesting post. I wish you luck in whatever you do.
