Are your goals feeling more like wishes? As the year winds down, it's the perfect time for married entrepreneurs to reset, refocus, and make their biggest visions a reality. In this episode of Married with a business, we dive deep into a critical skill that separates wishing from winning: effective goal setting! We break down how to take a big idea and lay it out so it's not just a dream, but an achievable roadmap. What We Cover: Goals vs. Wishes: Learn the clear definition of a goal and the purpose behind setting them—from gaining direction and focus to boosting productivity and achieving true personal growth. The Power of Small Steps: Discover how to use 90-day deadlines to create actionable, manageable steps that build momentum towards your biggest achievements. The SMART Framework: We walk you through how to transform a basic goal like "Get in shape" into a Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound plan. Beyond the Basics: Find out the importance of determining your Key Motivation and considering real-world factors (like holidays and health) when building your plan. Time Blocking Mastery: This simple, yet powerful scheduling technique will ensure you actually make time to work on your business, not just in it. Thinking BIG: We explain the concept of a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG)—a 10-25 year target that is clear, compelling, and inspires your entire partnership. We'll use a residential remodeling business example to show why a strong BHAG is a game-changer for the company's future. Stop drifting and start directing your success.
