Instead of ‘New Year, New Me,’ all of us here at Boston Direct are chanting ‘New Year, New Mindset!’
In the past, January was the month that we set extraordinarily high expectations for ourselves. However, by mid-February, we would always start to lose steam. Although 2021 was a year full of trials, it taught us to go with the punches and to set realistic, attainable goals. To get a head start, we decided to put together some advice to make this year the best one to date! This year is about achieving milestones, improving ourselves, and graduating to the next level professionally. Continue reading to guarantee achievement in your business goals in the following months!
Learn to set business goals properly
Do you set your goals correctly? The most well-known method of goal setting is SMART goals. This concept was coined in 1981 by a consultant named George T. Doran. Since then, it’s been used by countless executives and business owners to grow and transform their businesses systematically, including our team here at Boston Direct. This consists of each letter of the word S.M.A.R.T. standing for the following: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-based. Studies have shown that when you base your goals around these elements, they are more likely to be achieved.
Clarify and commit to your business goals
Young businesspeople make the common mistake of setting too many goals and then completing none of them. Becoming hyper-focused on a plan supercharges results. While several areas of your skills may need improvement, it’s crucial only to pursue the most important goals, and more minor details will follow. This is why we know here at Boston Direct that it’s essential to clarify and then commit to your business goals. Try the following: make a list of areas you want to improve, list them in order of importance from highest to lowest, and then choose the top 2-3 goals to focus on & commit before moving forward to other ones.
Learn about time management
Once you have your goals clarified and the steps it takes to get there mapped out, it’s time to get to work! The ability to manage your time effectively is essential. Good time management leads to improved efficiency and productivity, less stress, and more success in life. Managing time well leads to more opportunities and less time wasted on trivial activities. This will result in getting to your future goals sooner! Implement the following to help improve your time management: prioritize by importance, set a time limit on completion, take small breaks between tasks, remove all non-essential activities or tasks, stay organized, and plan ahead of time.
With our new 2022 mindset, we plan on continually setting and achieving new goals properly. Our driven attitudes are in place, and all of us here at Boston Direct are confident that this year will be one of growth, success, and prosperity!
