How To Create Achievable Goals For Your Online Business

Running an online business can get very stressful and overwhelming if you do not have achievable goals in place for you to reach your long term goals. Without a plan with strategies that create results, you risk burning out and losing confidence with yourself and your business.

Always make sure you are practicing daily gratitudes to remind yourself how far you have come. 

The fact is, you are more likely to give up on building your online business if you are not seeing any growth. We start our businesses for a reason that is special to us. Normally this is to either make money, help people or both.

This is why it is so important to create realistic goals and milestones within your business. So how do you create these realistic goals? You start by thinking of those long term goals, you know the ones that made you start your blog and business in the beginning. This is normally your WHY that will help keep you going when you come across those hard times when growing your business.

Knowing what you would like your business to achieve long term creates the ability to know what strategies to use to get there. Once you know the strategies you are going to use for your business you can then start creating smaller goals for you to achieve and start taking ACTION.

The KEY is to create manageable goals that you can increase once you hit them. I have found creating a bullet journal system really helpful for this type of goal setting. For example, when setting social media goals it is good to colour in blocks each month as you hit those goals. This way you gain a sense of achievement and feel like you are working towards those long term goals.

So let’s get thinking… if you would like to hit 10,000 views of your blog within the next month or have 10 sales a week what strategies do you need to start taking action on?

Once you have these strategies in place, think about the little action steps that need to be taken.

Below I have reverse engineered a few of my main goals I have this year 2020 into achievable goals.
