When I started my first business, I was just doing the work that was in front of me. I had no real plan for where I wanted the business to go and no real plan for the financial success and long-term sustainability of my company. Each year setting goals felt like I was just choosing what felt right or what I was hearing from others at the time without any real basis at all. And you know what, the goals I set did not matter very much as the difficulty of the year progressed. Just like those fitness goals set in January with good intentions, they fell by the wayside. But there is a better way.
