As we approach the new year, also known as the "new year -new me" season, it's time to ensure that our revenue-generating activities get the attention they deserve.

Contrary to popular belief, not all goals are created equal when setting goals. Some goals deserve to take center stage (i.e., become your primary focus), while others act as your background singers (i.e., necessary but not crucial to the show). By understanding the significance of each goal you set in your business, you can prioritize your efforts and maximize your results.

Have you sat down to determine what you'll focus on in 2023 in your Business? 

In this episode of The Event Gems Podcast, I sit down with Tonya Harrison, Business Operations Expert, and CEO of Cignal Partners, to discuss how to set and crush your professional goals. 

Tonya is walks us through her signature Precision Planning Process, which includes:

• Defining your objectives 
• Setting SMART goals
• Leveraging the right resources
• Tracking the right metrics in your Service Based Business
