Revenue Goals That Actually Move the Needle
Jul 13, 2023As business owners, setting revenue targets is a common practice. Initially, we aim for a number that covers our expenses, and then we gradually expand it to include some extra income for ourselves. Over time, this number keeps growing as we strive for financial stability, considering our business as our primary source of livelihood.
However, it's crucial to stay connected to our "why" and have a clear understanding of what it will truly take to achieve these business goals. To facilitate this journey, I will share my approach of breaking down significant business goals into actionable steps that can be pursued daily, ultimately increasing the likelihood of success.
The key takeaways from this episode are:
1. Setting revenue targets alone may not be sufficient. Understand the underlying drivers that contribute to hitting your goals for a comprehensive approach to business success.
2. Break down significant business goals into actionable daily steps. By focusing on manageable tasks, you increase your chances of achieving long-term success.
3. Evaluate your progress using a scorecard and reflect on your actions. Don't expect different results if you keep repeating the same actions. Adapt and make necessary changes to improve outcomes.
