How to set business goals for 2022

We’ve entered a new year and I bet you have loads of ideas for your business, but how do you turn those ideas into action to achieve your goals and create more success and growth for your business in 2022?


An idea which isn’t written down and recorded is just a dream so start off by writing down what you want to achieve this year. If you find that a vision board is more useful then create images of what you want to achieve and display them somewhere you will see them every day. This will help you to stay motivated and keep on track for success.


Whether it’s a new calendar year or a new financial year I always advise businesses to review and reflect upon the past year. What has your business achieved over the last year? Have you reached all goals you have set yourself or is there still more work to do? Take note of everything you have achieved, what you could improve on and what new goals you want to set for yourself. 


The next step is to decide when you want to achieve these goals by. Having a date to aim for will keep you striving in order to fulfill your goal. Don’t set unachievable or unrealistic goals as you will then be disappointed and deflated when you don’t reach them. Likewise don’t set goals which are too easy and not challenging enough.


Now to put these goals in action, easier said than done right? It will be a lot easier if you put steps in place that you need to take in order to reach the end goal. That way breaking down the goal into steps means you can see the progress you are making and it gives you a sense of achievement. 


If you have a bookkeeper discuss your goals with them especially if they are finance orientated. Your bookkeeper can produce insightful reports and help you put the steps in place and work with you, reviewing your progress at each quarter. 


If you don’t have a bookkeeper, then maybe this should be one of your goals. Outsourcing your bookkeeping will mean that you have more time to concentrate on working on your business, giving you more chance to smash those goals. You then have that added support and guidance to make sure your business is moving in the right direction.


Let’s make your dreams reality this year together, get in touch now.
