Episode 8: Setting Goals for the New Year
As the year is drawing to a close, it’s a good idea to review how things went for you both professionally and personally before you start setting your goals and priorities for the new year.
There are so many different ways to do this! You could do your planning on paper, digitally, in your favorite planner (we’re excited to try our Full Focus Planners in 2020!), using an online tool, a mind map, or a vision board… The sky is the limit here!
One way of reviewing your year and planning for the next one is by planning and holding a business retreat. In fact, you can do it not just once a year, but twice a year or quarterly if you’d like.
Tune in as we talk about planning and implementing our own business retreat and how it helped us to look back at our successes and struggles from this year and come up with our vision and priorities for the next year.
