3 Resources to Put Your 2020 Goals on Track

9 tools used to set goals

This week, I have been reflecting on goals I didn’t reach in 2019 and how I could do better in 2020. 

I came across these resources that helped me and I thought you may want to take a look.

  • Share #1. A few simple, goal setting steps that can be easily implemented and followed by any business owner. And, don’t let the title fool you, these are not just for techies.

  • Share #2. I’m not a great Tim Ferris fan, but this resonated with me and fits the philosophy of KISS (keep it simple, stupid!)
    Rig the Game So You Can Win It
  • Share #3. I’ve used planners for several years…probably because I love to write and they help me stay organized. I’ve come across two in-depth and detailed planners you may want to consider. Michael Hyatt’s Full Focus Planner ($49.00) or Brendon Burchard’s High Performance Planner ($18.96). I know, two different price points, the 1st is a 90-day planner and the 2nd is 60 days. Both are great tools to keep you organized and focused and are also available on Amazon.com. Check them out:

    HighPerformance Planner
  • Bonus:  Trello and Salesforce put their heads together and produced a goal-setting process that can help you plan your entire year. It’s a great resource for a deep dive into strategic planning and setting goals. Trello also offers FREE templates and boards you can use for other phases of your business. First link is for the goal-setting board and the 2nd is to the free templates and boards.

An article I wrote on Conducting a Competitive Analysis is another tool that may help business owners in establishing goals.
