Facebook Live Replay: “5 Steps to Create Your Monthly Power Goal!”
It is the beginning of a new month, imagine what you can accomplish if you focus on ONE business growth goal this month. Imagine what you can accomplish if you spend One Power Hour a day working on one goal. That is 20+ Power Hours in a month.
Step 1: Identify your ONE GOAL
What is the one business growth goal you want to focus on this month? Look back at your 90-day plan and year’s goals. It is important to check back with your overall vision of where you want your business to grow before setting your goal for the month. This is an opportunity to make sure you are on track and to do any course “corrections”.
(If you don’t have a 90 plan or year business vision/plan then it is time to create one. Perhaps that is your One GOAL for the month.)
- Make it a stretch goal but not out of reach.
- Make it a S.M.A.R.T. Goal so it easy to remember, focus on and measure your results.
Step 2: Formulate your ONE GOAL into a number
Now, the whole point of having ONE GOAL is making it easy to remember. If you want to take it up a level from a S.M.A.R.T. Goal then make it a single number.
Some examples:
- Increase your revenue by 15%
- Want to publish a book, then write 20,000 words this month
- Grow your list by 100 new subscribers
- Enroll 20 people in your new program
- Publish and share 10 blog posts
- Secure 2 new partners
Step 3: Break it down to Weekly/Daily activities
Break down your One Goal for the month into your recipe for success. Aim to have small steps that can be done in one Power Hour. Then schedule one Power Hour per day that is 5+ focused hours per week and 20+ per month. Imagine what you will accomplish with that type of focus on 1 business growth goal.
Step 4: Keep your ONE GOAL top of mind
Put in on a piece of paper and tape it next to your computer screen. Write it at the top of each page in your planner for the month. Add it as a popup reminder each day on your calendar.
Keep asking yourself, have I worked on my One Goal today? Is what I’m doing more important than working on my One Goal? When will I focus for one hour on my One Goal? You get the idea.
Step 5: Check in weekly to see if you are on track and do any correction in your plan.
It is so important to check in at the end of a week to reflect on how well you’ve been work towards your goal. Think about the progress you’ve made, do you need to change anything in your plan, what will you work on during the next week?
If you want to see real movement towards your business goals, you need to focus on them, break them down into manageable work items and reflect on where you are going.
So what will it be? What will your ONE GOAL be for this month? Please share below.
I love to see entrepreneurs follow their passions, serve more people and create the lifestyle of their dreams.
