What are your Goals?

.

Do you have goals for you or your business?

Have you considered what you want to accomplish a year, two, or three years from now?

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day activities and lose sight of where you are going, which can be a problem. What if you are heading in the wrong direction? What if you are moving in circles? How do you know that what you are doing is going to help you achieve your goals?  

Setting goals that are meaningful and motivating to you helps you to stay on track. It allows you to align your decisions with your goals. It helps you to stay motivated in challenging times.

Let me give you an example:

Helen was recently approached by a manufacturer who wanted to mass-produce her cupcakes under their brand name. It was an offer that she would be crazy to refuse. The money was more than she could imagine; yet, she hesitated. 

Helen prided herself in creating cupcakes with unique flavours and designs to help her clients celebrate their special moments like birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc. 

She was happy knowing that her creations contributed to their joy on their special day. But now, if Helen accepted the proposal, the feeling of making a difference in her clients’ lives would be gone. Also, her business was doing well, but it was not enough for her to retire in five years.

Helen’s Decision:

Helen realized that she could save enough to retire in five years, once she followed through on creating franchise opportunities for stay-at-home moms like herself who love to bake.

So, Helen refused the offer.
