What Nobody Is Telling You About Goals

If you are like me you’ve probably set goals or written down your dreams in the past.

However, those goals never became a reality.

What you need to know is that writing down your goals is not enough.

To achieve goals you need to put some action behind them.

If you find yourself like Lisa where you feel stuck in a rut.

Maybe you’ve invested in a coaching program, hired a VA or even started a blog.

After taking some action you became depressed after 6 months or even 2 years because the results were inadequate.

Here’s what you need to know about goals.

In order to achieve resounding success, you need to keep taking action even though the results are disappointing.

Of course, if you’ve been taking consistent action for 10 years without results then you are doing something wrong.

Have you been taking consistent action for 10 years without results?? If yes, it’s possible that you need a helping hand to get you success so feel free to book a call with me here.

Let’s spend some time looking at goal setting so you can get an idea of how to do it right.

Goal Setting

When it comes to setting goals, there’s a right way to do it and a wrong way.

Let’s look at the right way to set goals. Hint: it involves setting specific goals with an action plan for each one.

You’ve probably already heard of the acronym SMART before.

  • S – specific
  • M – measurable
  • A – achievable
  • R – realistic
  • T – time-bound

Specific

Using the SMART methodology, your goal needs to be specific.

For example, you want to generate a liveable income in your business in 30 days.

Measurable

Taking the previous example, let’s make it measurable so that it can be managed.

Generate $1,000 in your business in the next 30 days by offering social media management to potential clients.

Achievable

So, is that goal achievable? If yes, how will you achieve it?

Generate $1,000 in your business in the next 30 days by offering social media management (SMM) to potential clients. It means that you’ll need to have a social media management package of $300/month that you can offer. You’ll also need to do 1 discovery call every 1-2 days and have a close rate of 20-30%

Realistic

At this point, you need to consider if this goal is realistic and relevant compared to all your bigger goals.

If your bigger goal is to leave your 9-5 job or get your coaching business to generate a full-time income then you need a realistic plan with smaller tasks.

Generating $1,000 in your business in the next 30 days by onboarding 4 clients at $300/month for social media management by doing a discovery call every 1-2 days ensuring a minimum close rate of 20% is realistic because many small business owners need this service urgently to promote their services.

Time-Bound

Like many things in life, ensuring that your goal has a deadline sets a countdown timer in motion.

In other words, it is important to add a date to your SMART goal.

By X date, you’ll generate $1,000 in your business by onboarding 4 new clients at your $300/month social media management package. You’ll do this by doing a discovery call every day or every other day and ensuring a close rate of 20%.

All you need to do now is find those potential clients.

Where to Find Clients

One of the fastest ways to generate an income online is by offering a service.

Whether you are a certified coach, social media manager, web designer, graphic designer or a general VA you need clients to make money.

So, where can you go to find these clients?

Well, where are your clients hanging out online?

A great place to find potential clients is on social media platforms like Facebook.

Other places include Instagram, Upwork, Fiverr and many other places.

As a service provider, it would make sense to join Facebook groups where your clients are already asking questions.

Here are 10 Facebook Groups where you can find a list of job opportunities or potential 365 days a year.

  1. Boss-Moms
  2. Virtual Assistant Savvies
  3. How She Did That
  4. The Virtual Entrepreneur
  5. Thrive: A List Building Community
  6. Women In Marketing
  7. Freelancing Females
  8. Digital Nomad Girls Community
  9. Virtual Assistant Tribe Job Board
  10. Virtual Assistant Jobs
  11. The Virtual Assistant Connection

In order to get potential clients to book discovery calls with you, be sure to have a portfolio or resume outlining your packages and pricing.

Also, make it easy for them to book time in your calendar by using a service like Calendly, Acuity Scheduling (my favourite) or Dubsado.

Daily Activities

Now that you know how to set SMART goals and where to find clients, what should your daily activities look like?

My advice would be to set aside 1-2 hours every day to check on the jobs or potential clients inside your chosen Facebook groups.

This is something I do every morning in order to generate leads.

When I find a suitable lead, I’d leave a comment as well as a link to my resume (you can save your resume in Google Drive or Dropbox).

Be sure to use a link shortener to make the link to your resume more attractive.

Sometimes the person offering the job asks potential job seekers to email them.

So, I’ll send an email to them as soon as possible.

Another cool way to get noticed as an expert inside larger Facebook groups like Boss-Moms is to add value by answering questions.

Be sure to head over to Instagram and follow your potential clients.

The reason for doing this is that they advertise jobs in their IG feed and Stories.

Also, search through hashtags like #wehiring, #hiring, #jobopportunity, #adminhelp and your specific role tags like #socialmediamanager or #smm.

Finally, do a search on Upwork for projects and save jobs that interest you and respond to them while they are still hot.

I can assure you that if you are doing these daily activities you’ll be able to hit your goals in no time.

Daily Goals Template – Notion, Airtable and PDF

Starting a new habit can be very hard.

Some days you’ll remember and other days you’ll forget.

So, I’ve created a number of daily planner templates that you can use to start a new habit.

The first two are free templates that are much better than using a sticky note.

It doesn’t matter the types of goals you are trying to achieve.

They are great for personal goals, simple goals, weight loss goals, career goals or monthly goals.

Check out these motivational quotes that will help you to stay focused on taking action.

Using the smart goals template together with these goal planning strategies will help you with time management.

Daily Goals Template With Real Goals – Notion

To help you to understand how this works, here’s an example with real goals included.

Notion Board View

If you remember the example I gave earlier of generating $1,000 in 30 days by onboarding 4 new clients.

The daily goal involves having 1 discovery call every 1-2 days.

In order to have those discovery calls, you’ll need to generate leads.

Here’s what the daily tasks look like to generate discovery calls every day.

  1. Impostor syndrome is indeed a big obstacle for many people. Personally, I think it’s one of the major reasons why goals aren’t being achieved. I like how you also included FB groups that would be of great help to entrepreneurs. Nice one.

  2. This is such an excellent post for anyone wanting to start a project or business. I agree with you, one has to make efforts towards one’s goal every single day.

  3. I agree with you. I make sure that all my goals are specific, measurable, and time-bounded. I make little milestones usually on a monthly basis that contributes to my bigger goal. Been doing this for several years and it just amazes me whenever I tick off my goal because finally, I made it. Thank you for sharing this template. This is very useful.
