When someone first sets up in business, he/she may have
some unstated aims or objectives - for example to survive for the first year.
Other businesses may wish to state exactly what they are aiming to do, such as
Amazon, the Internet CD and bookseller, who wants to "make history and
have fun".
An aim is where the business wants to go in the future, its
goals. It is a statement of purpose, e.g. we want to grow the business into
Europe. Goal setting is one of the most important activities you
can do in your business, regardless of how old your business is, where you
are located, how profitable it is, or what you sell. Goals help you stay
focused and they can prevent your business from becoming stagnant. Your
business goals keep you moving forward and set the stage for ongoing
success.
Although we often think of goal setting as something we do
at the start of every year, the truth is that it is extremely important to
work on your business goals all year long. You should be setting goals multiple
times each year, tracking your progress, and refining the strategies you are
following in order to achieve your goals on an ongoing basis.
To help you get started
with your small business goals this year, here is a list of goals that
have the potential to change your business for the better. Pick one or two that
are fitting for your small business, turn them into SMART goals (more on that
at the end of this article!) and create a plan to tackle them in the coming
months.
