Goal Setting - Key in Developing Your Home Based Business - Part 1 - Strategy Overview

If success is mandatory in every thing you do then you will reflect on your business goal setting activities now and each month going forward. Getting your business going on the internet means you are handling your internet, office, voice and customer relationship (IOVC) activities all at the same time. The internet technology required to get your home based business on the web can seem daunting regardless of the size of your business and even more so if you are a solo business owner. As you review your IOVC activities, the following points are designed to keep your goal setting activities on track.

Define your purpose - Restate your purpose to your self. What is your current state? Document your numbers and goal setting activities as outlined in your plans. Where do you stand now in relation to those goals? Has technology held you back?

Reflect on the past - Define what came out of your reflection on past business activities. Decide what you will keep working on. Clearly define what goals and objectives may not make sense to keep working on.

Decide what is not working - What about those activities that did not go well? A reflective way to look back is to evaluate what you did because you got caught up in the latest fad versus what you really like to do.

Don't go for the home run offer . - Working in a home based business invariable means working online. Your email inbox must be flooded with make money at home business offers. Your normal internet marketer will want you to learn something new, but not really commit to your well being.

Start working with profit in mind - Make sure your goals have a profit objective and you are working towards a real measurable income goal. If it is not measure able it is not a real goal.

Plan to meet your goals - Setting goals is fun, but goals need a plan. Winging it may be fun but winging without a plan makes no sense but we know people who do it. A plan will help you meet those goals you set and ensure you stay on target. The plan does not have to be complex, a one page business plan will do.

Change your approach to training - One key activity that should change for all of us is to change your approach to training. The approach should be changed to be a situational learning process that works to your advantage.

Don't be a lone hero - Get support that stays with you. A partner or a success coach who can help you move your talents forward works very well for most people.

As you can see goal setting means defining your purpose, being seriously reflective, stop what is not working, making sure you work more on what is working, work towards a real profit goal, work with a plan and make sure training works for you.
