1. It’s time to think small
It’s time to think SMALL with our goals.
The big picture goals can get lost in the daily
rollercoaster of growing your business.
Focus on the small steps and make real and
significant progress, every day.

2. No time for time-wasting
Take time for the smaller actions, the little goals that make the
daily difference, and I guarantee you’ll find:
1- you have more time. When you’re clear about your focus you
spend less time dithering, procrastinating, finding excuses to do
“something else first”.
2- you’ll have a greater sense of achievement every day. You’ll see
real progress towards things that have been holding you back.
3- you’ll be investing your time in actions that will have a positive
impact on your credibility, your reputation.
4- you’ll have taken significant steps towards achieving those big
picture goals.

3. One month at a time
Using the following five slides, set goals for
the next month.
Think small.
Think focus.
Think results.
Take action.

4. This month’s goals - 1
Three frogs I’m going to snog this month:
Pick three things you’ve been avoiding getting
done and go for it.
Start your day with these tasks, a small step
towards completing each one, for each
working day of the month.

5. This month’s goals - 2
Three people I’m going to develop a stronger
relationship with this month:
Who have you been neglecting in your
networks? Who did you promise to follow-up
with and life happened? Who would you like
to get to know better?

6. This month’s goals - 3
Three social media strategies for this month:
What three topics will you focus on for this
month across your social media?
Get consistency in place, plan some blogs /
shares / tweets / posts around these topics
and engage with others who are speaking
about them.

7. This month’s goals - 4
Three plans for “me-time” that are going in
the diary for this month:
Before you start with the “I’m too busy for
me-time” – GET REAL.
Me Time can be 15 minutes with a cuppa. It’s
about acknowledging it’s vital to your
health, happiness and business success.

8. This month’s goals - 5
Three repetitive thoughts I’m going to challenge
this month:
Does that little, self-deprecating voice really
serve you? Pick three of your habitual negative
thoughts and challenge them this month.
Be aware of how often you say them to yourself.
Find a new phrase to replace them.

9. Take action
If you’re serious about achieving and not just
setting goals, then get started. Take action by
completing the five monthly goals and let me
know how you got on. I’d love to hear from
