Setting the Right Goals Business Workshop

Start the new year with a fresh perspective on your business.

Forget about resolutions. Learn to set the right kind of goals. Goals are much more than just having a good idea or writing down target numbers. Professional business owners use a process for setting strategic goals and there are many processes that can be used. Studies and research suggest that over 90% of all business owners here in Long Island don't set annual goals, and those that do set only a total annual sales goal based on the money they want to make. Business owners need prospecting and exposure goals, conversion rate goals and goals to drive down cost.

The combined experience of top business owners shows that goals are like magnets. They attract success and resources when properly set. The key is setting the "RIGHT" goals - not just writing down good ideas. For example, most people think it would be a good idea to be rich or financially free. If your goal is to be rich and financially free as a result of owning businesses, you have to learn how to strategically do that and to be held accountable to your goals process. So finding a mentor to teach you how to build a cash-flowing business would be a more appropriate goal - not just "get rich."

In this session, Setting the Right Goals, the first in a series of three, John Keahi Dano, lead educator at The Entrepreneur Center, will lead participants in setting goals in all areas of their lives, teach them how to prioritize them and be held accountable to getting them done. Participants can take any one class or all three. The fee for Setting the Right Goals is $15.

Upcoming sessions in the series:

  • Increasing Sales & Painless Prospecting - Friday, January 31, 2014, 10am-1pm, $25
  • Building a Cash Flowing Business - Friday, February 28, 2014, 10am-1pm, $50
Triple play bonus: Take the complete series of three Friday morning workshops for $75.
