The Inspiration Behind Business Goal Setting
Earlier this year, I listened to a compelling podcast where Marie Forleo interviewed Seth Godin. The conversation centered on setting a goal and selecting strategies and tactics to achieve it. This discussion profoundly reframed my approach to running Crearé and thinking about continuous business growth.
The Importance of Goal Evaluation
It’s crucial to regularly reevaluate your goals and ensure they align with your passion and business vision. Ask yourself:
- Are you enjoying your work?
- Do you feel satisfied with the results you’re producing?
- Is your current path leading you towards fulfillment?
If the answer is no, it might be time to recalibrate your goals. Conversely, if you’re excited and motivated, you’ve likely chosen the right path.
