Level Up to Your Business Greatness

by Simone Sloan

What actions and behaviors will you do differently to achieve your goals this year?

Staying focused on your personal and professional goals can be challenging. A goal without a well-thought-out plan lacks true intention and purpose. Having clear goals and objectives that are written out and visible to you daily can support your efforts to stay focused on tasks needed to move forward and also help hold you accountable to your actions.

Here are 3 tips to help you stay focused to get results in 2023:

1. Get Clear on Your Vision

Have you set aside time to think about your professional or personal vision? If you are working towards financial wellness, a healthy lifestyle, or world travel, create goals and objectives with that vision in mind. After all, no vision means no action, which means no results.

Create a list of activities that will support your vision. This should include related projects/tasks, phone calls, e-mails, and networking activities.

Check in with yourself at the end of each week to determine what is working and what is not working. This is a great gut check on your integrity and will help align your thoughts with actions.

2. Act with Purpose and Set Your Intentions

I, personally, love structure and organization. However, I know that may not work for some. Find your flow and groove. How do you plan out your days and weeks to propel your life forward? If you are planning on the fly, chances are, you may be spending precious time planning rather than using it more productively, like connecting with others, attending network events, or managing your well-being.

Even when you are “busy,” are your actions aligned with your purpose and intention for the life you want? Wasted time plus wasted energy equals wasted efforts.

3. Avoid New Shiny Things https://www.linkedin.com/in/ simonesloan/ www.YourChoiceCoach.com https://bit.ly/YourChoiceCoach

New, shiny things may be cool, but do they support your vision for your well- being, professional career, and relationships? They can be a distraction and time suck.

Now you are ready to focus, plan, and execute!
