What you’ll read below is Melodie’s 4 step roadmap to hit your goals through SMART goal setting and creating a plan that works! Take notes babes, this isn’t your typical SMART goals!

Specific

One thing I hear all the time when I ask people what their goals are, they give me these generic answers:

• I wanna grow my biz
• I wanna grow my team
• I wanna earn more money

Ya’ll, you HAVE to put a NUMBER on it. This isn’t going to work if there’s no specific number.

• I wanna grow my biz -> in what way can you measure that? more sales, more members?
• I wanna grow my team -> by how many? 10 people a month? 5 people a week?
• I wanna earn more money -> by how much? you wanna bring in an additional 1k a month? or 3k?

Measurable

You need a to put a DATE for your goals. It has to be a time-bound goal. By when do you wanna reach that extra 1k a month? or that 3k or 5k? In 3 months? or 6 months? If you see something isn’t really working towards your goal, then you’ll have time to tweak it. The worst thing you can do is be generic.

Actionable

It has to be something that you can break down into actionable steps. Double your lineage in the next 3 months? Then you can begin to break that down – how many people do you need to add monthly and weekly over the next 3 months so you can reach that goal?

Relatable

There’s no one size fits all way to build your business. You have to find what resonates with you, what aligns with the type of biz you wanna grow, the type of life you wanna live and discard everything that doesn’t align with that. Otherwise you’re not gonna feel that passion to work towards your goals.

Time-bound

Like I said earlier, all your goals have to be time-bound. Don’t beat yourself up though if you don’t accomplish your goals by that time! It’s okay, you can go ahead and bump it to the corner but you gotta have some kinda accountability so that next time you’ll know what to do. You need that deadline because this will help you look back on your progress so you can make necessary changes along the way.

THEN you wanna break your SMART goals down into 3 categories.

1. Personal business goals – you want this to be income-focused because let’s be real, this is what’s gonna motivate you the MOST.
2. Team-building goals – this has to be lineage-focused because whatever you’re doing in your biz, you don’t want it all to be income-focused. Also focus on how you can help your whole team grow because that will make your biz grow from the bottom up and give you a nice, strong business overall.
3. Professional development goal – You GOTTA make learning a part of your biz! This is how we keep growing! If not, you’re not gonna know what you don’t know, where you’re going wrong, what’s working and what’s not. You’re not gonna be able to master your skills that need work. This will save you time in the long-run when you’re able to optimize, automize, and simplify some parts of your biz.

Then you wanna choose your top 3 goals from each category that you’re gonna work on for the year and then the rest you can tuck those aside to reconsider next time.
