I took to Instagram and asked my followers what questions they had related to achieving goals in business. It’s the end of the year and it’s time to start talking about goals right? Kind of. Now is the time to DO something about goals. If you are at all like me, talking about things (like goals) doesn’t accomplish much. When it comes to goals, it is too easy to: Talk about them but never take action. Set them and forget them. Set wrong ones and miss them. In order to set goals AND achieve them, you need these 3 things. Right perspective Serious motivation All-star tools I also talk about evaluating your long-term business plan and/or strategy. This isn’t a set it and forget it so what must you do?
