About this episode

The great danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.  I love this quote from Michelangelo.  It really puts into perspective how important it is to not only set goals but to make sure that you are setting goals that make you reach a little further than you’d normally reach so that you can achieve those goals and have an amazing experience all along the journey to get there.  When you set goals, you are creating a roadmap for a purpose-driven life, so when you set goals for your business, you are creating each and every milestone you need to take to make the vision for your business a reality.  In today’s podcast episode, I’m taking you step by step through the process of how to create goals for your business, all the way through the best ways to track and review your goals.  Whether you are starting a business or side hustle, you’re a self-employed individual, a solopreneur, entrepreneur, mompreneur, freelancer, small business owner, a remote, virtual, online, or in-house bookkeeper, or a virtual assistant or VA, being passionate about what you do and having goals gives you something to shoot for in your business so that you not only have an ordinarily successful business, you are able to create an extraordinary business in which you know you are reaching beyond the normal levels that you can be proud of. These tips are essential whether you are using a computerized software system like QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, or FreshBooks for your business finances; or doing your bookkeeping manually with an Excel spreadsheet or even a Google Document…
