Goals are defined as the following: the object of a person’s ambition or effort; an aim or desired result.

I find setting goals in your business is a great way to not only allow you to grow, but it also holds you accountable.  When you write your goals down, it forces you to look at it and question why you’ve not hit it yet or why you hit it too quickly!  You want to make goals so that they are attainable but not too easy.  I find I thrive more when I set a couple of goals that I know are attainable but to also set goals that might be a little more lofty.  I call these stretch goals.

A simple goal that I might set for myself in a single month is to list 5 items a night.  A stretch goal for me might be to have $5,000 in sales.  Given my historical monthly sales numbers I see that I haven’t hit $5K in a single month yet, so setting something a little higher will force me to make some changes in my process to try and hit it.  It is a goal that force me to think outside the box

Stretch Goal is defined as the following: A goal that cannot be achieved by incremental or small improvements but require extending oneself to the limit to be actualized. Expressed in the saying, “You cannot cross a chasm in two steps.”

The first step to achieving success is staring your obstacles in the face.  In my video below, I challenged everyone to set a goal for the month of March.  If you want to join this challenge of holding yourself accountable please comment below or message me and I can add you to the list.  Once march is over we will review and see what we could have done differently or if we hit it or hit it too easily we will want to know what we did to make it happen!
