So you decided to dive into a world of selling—congrats! Whether you're here because you're chasing that first sale or realizing that your friends and family can only buy so much, getting started can feel a little chaotic. You might be thinking, “Where do I even start?” or “Is it really possible to make this simple and fun?” Spoiler alert: yes, it is.
Here's the thing: if you're feeling that way, chances are there's one big piece of the puzzle missing—goals. Imagine this: you hop in your car, start driving. But where are you going? Without a destination, you're just wandering aimlessly. Goals are your destination. They give you direction, purpose, and a reason to keep going, even on the tough days.
So let's take a moment to stop spinning your wheels and start uncovering what success really looks like for you. Because once you know where you're going, the journey gets a whole lot easier—and way more exciting.
Goals are the guide points that keep you focused on building the business you've always dreamed of. Ready to make your goals clear and actionable? Let's dive into the SMART method.
Don’t just say “I want to make more sales.” Get specific. “I want to sell 30 gift sets this month.” Clarity is key, and it makes your goals easier to focus on. Numbers keep you on track. For example, aim to reach out to 30 new leads each week. Stretch yourself, but keep it realistic. Can you consistently connect with 30 leads per week without burning out? Goals should challenge you—not overwhelm you.
Make sure your goals align with your broader ambitions—whether it's increasing income, expanding your customer base, or scaling your business. Deadlines keep you focused and accountable. For example: “I will sell 20 units by the end of the month.”
Big goals can feel overwhelming, but breaking them into smaller weekly steps makes them manageable and achievable. For example: Week 1—identify your top prospects. Week 2—reach out to 15 of them. Week 3—host a product demo. Celebrate every step forward, big or small, because progress adds up.
Setting a goal is just the first step, and it’s the consistent effort that turns it into reality. Here’s the key: do something every day. Some days will be a big move and some days it will be something small. No matter what it is, you just keep showing up—no matter what.
Before you move on, take a moment to set one goal for the month. Then commit to taking daily actions towards it. Because progress is built one step at a time. And don’t worry—you’re not in this alone. Throughout this course, we’ll guide you on the exact actions to take to bring your goals to life. Plus, Boards is here to help you stay organized, focused, and ready to take action every single day.
Challenge yourself, but keep it realistic. Break big goals into smaller steps. Celebrate each win, no matter how small. Your goals are your roadmap. Let’s make them intentional, achievable, and aligned with your vision for success. Ready to craft your goals? Let’s do this.
