SETTING GOALS

It is important to know what you want to achieve in the short-term, such
as the tasks that can be complete in a matter of days, weeks or months,
as well as the long-term goals that you want to accomplish on a quarterly
or yearly basis. You must make it a point to work toward these goals each
and every day.

Setting goals is crucial for the success of your Home business. It does not
take a rocket scientist to know how to set goals effectively; any strategist
knows how to propose and formulate objectives.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SETTING GOALS

You may wonder why you need to set goals. Some business owners think
that they can just let their company run on into the future and see where
it goes. This is only the case if you do not care any at all about the
success of your organization.

For a number of reasons, setting goals is best, including:

 Setting goals provides you with a target at which you can aim. Your
efforts will be focused on reaching your goals, as opposed to being
used unproductively elsewhere.

 Everyone will have a strong sense of direction that will allow him or
her to see what it is they are working to accomplish.

 When you offer a reward for reaching goals, businessmen and
women are more motivated to get the job done.

 Setting goals gives you the means to evaluate the success of each
project.
