Let’s talk about that a little!
In the past, I’ve set goals for my business and implemented actionable steps to work toward them.
That’s what we are supposed to do. Right?
Unfortunately, if you don’t have a plan while working, you’re more likely to waste A LOT of time.
Have you heard the saying, “If you don’t have a plan, you’re planning to fail”?
You can’t reach a destination if you haven’t set the right steps to get there.
I want to help you!
Trust me: I can easily be allll over the place while working. Distraction is a very real thing in my life. I am the ‘25 tabs open’ kind of girl 😉 … but really.
Also, I’m a mom. I want to be present with my children, and having a plan in place allows me to make the most of the time I spend working. We want to make every moment count!
I have had to set serious boundaries and use specific tools to help me stay focused and motivated – especially when I feel uninspired, overwhelmed, or just plain lazy.
Below are three simple steps you can take when setting a business goal.
-
Write your goal down, be very specific about what you want and when you will achieve it, and share it with someone for accountability. Telling someone makes it feel REAL.
-
Break down that goal into smaller goals that, once achieved, get you closer to your main goal.
-
Schedule purpose-driven tasks on your calendar. Purpose-driven tasks are those things that move the needle on what is essential to — your career, your writing, your business, & your product.
60% of your time should be spent on purpose-driven tasks, and the other 40% should be on building relationships.
We all want to focus on the right things and weed out everything else.
Every goal will include some tasks that we don’t love doing. I try to complete those tasks FIRST to get them over with. I call it ‘swallowing my frog,’ and it changes the trajectory of my day when I get those intimidating things out of the way.
For example, creating reels can sometimes feel soul-sucking to me.
I love talking about the things I’m passionate about, but I struggle actually taking the time to create these videos.
But I know that, for the sake of growth and profit, I just have to do it. If I can get ready and get those done first, then I can more easily focus on the tasks that aren’t so daunting to me.
In my Permanently Profitable: Money-Making Bundle, I share every detail of how I created a multiple 6-figure course, and I’m watching my students do the same!

I also share how to batch your work in the academy, so you use your time most efficiently. This was a game changer for me and helped provide more time freedom than I had when I was intermittently working on ALL the things throughout my day.
Grab your seat now, and go-at-your-own-pace!
Pray over those goals, and get to work! I’m so excited to see what you accomplish!
Warmly,
Linds
