How to Balance Short Term Goals and Long Term Vision


Listen Later

As we wrap up the year and start looking ahead to 2025, it’s the perfect time to reevaluate your goals and reflect on 2024. 

Have you been caught up in the endless cycle of putting out fires in your business, struggling to focus on the bigger picture you dream of creating? Or maybe you've been doing the opposite—always setting bold, exciting goals but feeling stuck when it comes to taking consistent, meaningful action. If either of these sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Wherever you’re at, this episode will give you the tools to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to go. 

Today, I’m sharing how you can balance short-term goals that keep you motivated and bring quick wins with the long-term goals that give your business direction and purpose. We’ll unpack why both types of goals are essential for sustainable business growth, how to make progress towards each type of goal (without overwhelming yourself), and how to get unstuck if you feel like you've been spinning in circles.

You will learn:

  • Why celebrating short-term wins will keep you on track while covering the practical side of your business (like paying the bills).
  • How to use your long-term vision to guide your decision-making and plan your daily action steps.
  • Simple strategies for ensuring your daily work aligns with your big-picture goals.
  • The mindset shifts that will help you feel grounded and confident as you plan for 2025.
  • Practical tips for carving out CEO time to reflect, plan, and stay intentional in your business.

As we look toward 2025, this episode is here to inspire you and remind you that progress towards your big dreams doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, intentional steps will lead you to your goals.
