Set Goals and Do the Work!

You know… inspiration can come from anywhere. I had a newsletter planned about finding the perfect work you should be doing and channeling that into a profitable business. (Don’t worry. I’ll write that one soon!) But, then I sat down to watch a little YouTube before I got to work and stumbled upon a video from one of my favorite food YouTubers.

The video itself was about some diet changes that he made. (I’m not going to go into how it felt watching that video while sitting in a McDonalds… but, I digress.)

He said something that shook up my plans for today. He said that any goal, regardless of what it is, can be achieved by committing to two steps.

1. Identifying a Goal and what it will take to get there.
2. Do the work required to achieve that goal every day.

Sure, that sounds easy when I type it out, but it’s a lesson we all need to learn (myself included). It isn’t enough to just set goals. We have to also figure out what work needs to be done to achieve them and commit to that work every day.

I filled out a personal dashboard sheet last Monday. I did maybe 1/3 of the things on that list. It was a hot mess. I set goals, but they didn’t really accomplish anything because I didn’t do the work.

Let’s all improve on this together!

The Main Quest

Your main quest this week is to identify one goal you want to achieve by the end of 2024 AND one thing you will do every day to ensure that you achieve that goal.

Write them down somewhere you will see them daily, and then commit to doing the work.

I’ll go first!

The Goal: I need to grow my business!

The Work: I need to post valuable and insightful content on the Side Quest Solutions social accounts every day.

Share your goals in the Small Business Support Group!

The Side Quest

Your Side Quest this week is to do those three things every day. There are no cheat days.

Do you need to post on your company's Instagram account every day? Do it.
If you need to do the dishes? Get to it.
Do you need to reach out to a few leads every day? Pick up the phone.

(Yes. I am aware of how hard this is going to be. I’ll be feeling the burn along with you!)
