Q1 Goal Setting

We get it, this time of year feels like watching the clock in the last hour of the school day. Although the drag is real right now, last week we reviewed how our biz went in 2024 and now with all that juicy info we can set some realistic and actionable goals for the new year.

What you believe, remember, you can achieve

-Mary Kay Ash

🔬 Go Under the Microscope

When setting actionable goals for your business in 2025, specificity is queen. Vague aspirations like "grow my business" or "get more clients" lack direction, are hard to track and aren’t going to cut it. Instead, aim for goals that are specific, measurable, and tied to clear outcomes. For example, "increase revenue by 15% by onboarding three new clients per quarter" or "grow my Instagram following by 30% by posting three times a week and engaging daily." These kinds of goals provide clarity and make it easier to track progress, giving you a clear path to success.

👩🏽‍💻 Use ChatGPT Prompts

Love it or hate it ChatGPT is useful. When brainstorming goals for 2025, getting specific is essential—and that’s where ChatGPT can help. Use tailored prompts to generate ideas and clarify your direction. For example:

  • “What are some measurable goals I can set for improving my customer retention rate in 2025?”

  • “Give me five creative ideas to grow my social media following by 50% next year.”

  • “Help me outline a step-by-step plan to launch a new in-demand service by mid-2025.”

These prompts act as a springboard for actionable insights, helping you transform vague intentions into concrete plans.

🪜 Create Manageable Steps

Setting goals is only half the battle; the key to achieving them is breaking them into smaller, actionable steps. For instance, instead of saying, “I want to increase revenue by 20%,” map out how you’ll do it: increasing prices, upselling services, creating new services or attracting new clients. Assign timelines and metrics to each step to keep yourself accountable. Use tools like project management software or even a simple to-do list to track your progress. This structured approach makes big goals feel achievable and keeps you motivated and on track throughout the year.

World Changer Mug

 I LOVE homewares, especially ceramics. Plus coffee is arguably my fave time of day sooo you have to have a cute vessel to drink it from, right? I recently stumbled upon these mugs, not only are they cute, they are lead-free, ethically made and one purchase takes a pound of plastic out of the ocean. Run, don't walk freelancers!
