In this article I am going to discuss why you need to have clear goals for your online business. If you don't know what you are heading towards you will never know when you actually get there let alone how to arrive!
I have found that a lot of people don't actually know what they want to get out of their online business. It is limited to just wanting to make money online.
No details about how or even how much!
If you set yourself a specific goal then it becomes far clearer what you need to do in order to achieve and reach that goal.
However, if you do set a goal it needs to be realistic. For example, if you set a goal that you want to build an online business that brings in $10,000 a month then it is going to take quite a few months before it becomes a realistic goal. Therefore your goals must have some kind of a time frame that is realistic and achievable.
In this example, we could break it down and say that in the first month you want to make $500, and then double it every month after until you reach the $10,000 mark.
It is important to document what you do to achieve a certain result. When you know what you did then it becomes far easier to scale things up and to double what you did the first time.
You might need to outsource some of the tasks but if you know exactly what it is you did then you will know exactly what you need to do again and what you need to outsource.
Everyone's goal is a personal thing and therefore you need to set your own goals based on your own personality and circumstances. If you work part-time at your online business then your goals need to reflect this.
When you set your goals in a realistic time frame then you must also believe that you are able to achieve it. However, will you be able to achieve the amount of work that you need to put in to achieving that goal consistently?
Therefore when you set your goals it is also a good idea to look at ways to make yourself accountable to achieving them and to actually getting the work done.
If you know that once you have achieved a specific goal that you are going to get a special reward then that might be enough to spur you are.
It might be more effective for you to have a weekly chat with someone where you can talk through what you have achieved to help keep you motivated. This is why many people have a coach because it helps them to stay on track to achieving their goals.
