How to stay focused on your business goals

Posted on 1 February, 2022 by Lyndsey Segal in Business Coaching

Most of us start the new year with the best of intentions and set goals to guide and grow our business.

However, it’s easy to get caught up in day-to-day work or feel unsure about what is needed to achieve your goals.

This can result in difficulties staying focused on your goals and feelings of overwhelm and procrastination can arise.

Here are my 5 top tips to help you stay focused on your business goals:

1.Know the ‘why’ behind your goals

Understanding why your goals are important and the difference their outcomes will make personally and professionally will motivate you to achieve them. Make sure your goals are aligned with your mission, vision and values. Share these with your team, clients and customers.

2.Create an action plan

If your goals feel too large or out of reach, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or uncertain about getting started or what the first step should be. 

An action plan helps to brainstorm all your ideas, tasks and to-dos and put them into a list so you can prioritise them.

3.Break your goals down into weekly targets

Break your action steps down will create a focus for the week. Remember to add dates for each task and add them to your calendar.

4.Create a daily plan

Schedule tasks and todos into a daily plan will help keep you focused on your goals. Remember to schedule in breaks to keep you energised, productive and focused.

5.Schedule a weekly review of your goals

A weekly review is an opportunity to review your progress and plan and prioritise your next steps.

Ask yourself:

 •Where am I?

 •What progress have I made?

 •What do I need to change or do next?

Creating an action plan, breaking your goals down into weekly targets and into a daily plan will help keep you focused on your business goals. Remember to celebrate your milestones and successes.

Many people know the goals they want to achieve, but they don’t know how to get there.
