How to Achieve Your Goals in Business
With Linda Shepard
June 22, 2017
For many entrepreneurs, their business is their passion. Passion drives people to work hard and put their all into their product or service. However, passion does not necessarily result in success. You need a vision and you need goals. Your business becomes accountable to the goals. People – customers, employees, investors, lenders, and suppliers – are counting on you to meet your goals.
Goals are developed by people, so they can be changed and adapted as needed, but the idea is to avoid surprises and try to plan out failure.
Join financial and operational strategist Linda Shepard and me to learn how to set and achieve your business goals!
Here's what you'll learn on the interview:
- How to define your purpose and envision your business
- How to define S.M.A.R.T. goals
- Tips for defining your overall goal and strategies needed to reach each goal
- How to be aware of changes around you
- And much more!
