Setting growth goals for your small business

Goals are important in visualising the future of your business, they help you stay focused and ensure everything keeps moving towards ongoing success.

While you've probably already set goals at the conception of your business and perhaps also created a few new years goals along the way, goal setting is actually a great tool that should be utilised throughout the year as well.

Having something to work towards throughout the year can also give you a sense of accomplishment and motivation in your everyday tasks, that might otherwise become routine and stagnant. Ideally, you should be setting a range of short term goals throughout the year alongside your long term goals, tracking their progress and working on your business strategies along the way. 

To enhance your businesses growth, we've put together a list of goals that can help to inspire you when creating your own more specific ones. Alternatively, if you'd like to develop a plan tailored to your specific needs, Helix Planning has got you covered!
