Goal setting is crucial to the success of any business, but is particularly important for entrepreneurs in the bookkeeping service business who are distracted with multiple priorities.
United States of America (Press Release) June 5, 2008 --
Business coach and author Linda A. Hunt has just released a series of free articles on her web site. The most recent article, Bookkeeping Business Secrets for Goal-Setting Success, is available for immediate download at www.bkpr-network.com.
Goal setting is crucial to the success of any business, but is particularly important for entrepreneurs in the bookkeeping business who can become distracted with multiple priorities.
“We've all had days where we leap from one crisis to another, but we know that's not a preferred mode of operation for our bookkeeping businesses! Goals direct actions, give us something to aim for, and serve as a yardstick for measuring our bookkeeping business's success,” counsels Hunt.
In this instructive article, the business coach reveals a formula for goal-setting that she’s successfully used for years. “When setting business goals, I use a successful goal-setting formula that a business coach mentor taught me. The formula incorporates a strategy or strategies for accomplishing the goal: ‘I will (goal + performance measure) by (specific actions)’,” she explains.
Hunt outlines easy-to-follow examples of how this formula can work for any busy bookkeeping service owner. “For example, suppose that you want to increase revenue. First specify the goal: ‘I will increase revenue this month by twenty-five percent.’ Setting a specific goal builds in the criteria you will use to evaluate your success.
“In this case, at the end of the month, you'll either have increased sales by twenty-five percent compared to the previous month or not. Then, specify the strategy that you will use to work towards accomplishing the goal: ‘I will increase sales this month by twenty-five percent by offering a ten-percent-off sale on all inventory and advertising this sale in the local newspapers.’”
The formula makes evaluating success or failure easy because the goal is specific rather than general. Instead of having a goal that may or may not be achievable, the bookkeeping service provider now has a specific plan to follow to achieve the goal.
The author concludes with four bookkeeping business secrets for goal-setting success. By implementing these four secrets into their daily practices, bookkeeping business owners will increase the productivity of their businesses.
