A Fun Twist on Goal Setting 💃


We know that you know that setting goals is key 🔑 to achieving success. Without goals, you're spinning your wheels without knowing if what you're doing is making a difference in your life or business. 🤷‍♀️ You need something to chase after, something to achieve, that will motivate you to show up every day and do the work as well as show you that the effort you're putting in is growing your business.


But sometimes setting goals seems boring and sterile. 😕 It's just something that we do because we know we're supposed to. There's no joy or excitement or fun in it. If this sounds like you and you're struggling or unmotivated to set goals in your business, we have some ideas 💡 for you that will make it more fun!



Things to keep in mind when setting goals:


Make sure your goals are YOUR goals 🫵


There may be someone in your circle that has achieved the type of success you want to achieve in your business. 🤩 You've been watching them for awhile and notice that they contribute a lot of their success to getting at 5am and going for a run 🏃‍♀️ followed by a green juice and 30 minutes of reading. You decide to make this process your new goal because if it works for them it will work for you right?


Wrong. 👎


If the idea of getting up at 5am makes you want to cry into your morning coffee ☕️ then it's not the right goal for you. What works for someone else won't automatically work for you. There's not a one size fits all formula when it comes to goals and success. You have to do what's right for you. When setting goals make sure they're goals that are personal to YOU and that get YOU excited to go after them! 🫶


Prioritize fun 😎


You didn't start your business so you could be exhausted and overwhelmed all the time right? You didn't start a business so you could burn the candle 🕯️ at both ends until you dread the sight of your desk because all it means is blood, sweat, and burnout. Those feelings will seep into every part of your business so that when people are reading your content online, they'll feel your stress 😬 and choose not to work with you because who wants to work with someone that seems so unhappy?


Find a way to make your business fun! 🎉 If you're having fun in your business your audience will see that, and they'll want to he a part of the party! How can you lighten up and enjoy your business more? Maybe you can go live more often and just chat with your people. Maybe you start hosting Friday dance parties 💃 on Zoom to head into the weekend on a high note. Maybe it means pivoting your whole business altogether because working with a group of people sounds way more pleasant than doing 1:1 coaching. Ask yourself how you can have more fun in your business!



With those tips in mind here's a fun way to set goals we call the ESW way!


Step 1: Set an EASY goal


This means a goal you could reach in your sleep. 🥱 Not SO easy the you don't have to put in a little work, but something that you know you'll be able to do in a certain timeframe. For instance, a goal that is too easy is to gain one new follower on Instagram. 🤳 But a goal you KNOW you can reach with your normal amount of effort may be to get 10 new IG followers in a month. 📆 Setting an easy goal like this makes you feel good and starts building up goal crushing momentum so that you feel like you really can achieve anything.


Step 2. Set a STRETCH goal


This is a goal that you're pretty sure you can reach but you're going to need to put in the work to make it happen. Most of the goals we set fall into this category because we're ambitious women 💪 and we want to push ourselves so we set a goal just a tiny bit out of our comfort zone. A goal that makes us wonder sometimes, "can I really do this?" But deep down you know that you can as long as you stretch yourself along the way, putting few more extra minutes of work ⏰, get just a little more disciplined, etc.


Step 3. Set a WOW goal


This is a goal that, if you hit it, you would say "Wow! I did that!" 🤯🤯🤯 It's a goal that will blow your mind. It's a goal that you know you'd never be able to hit when you think about logically 🤨, but the idea of achieving it gets you super pumped up and excited. 😍 Even if you don't hit this goal, and honestly you might not, you can still look at all the progress you made on the journey to that goal. 👀 You can see that the work you put in got you closer to it and then you can keep going after it. 👏



Here are some things we know about you if you're reading this:


🫵 YOU are not a quitter!


🫵 YOU are not someone who throws in the towel!


🫵 YOU are not someone who gives up before the race is over!


If those are things we know you’re NOT, then here are things we know you ARE‼️


😍 You ARE someone who holds the monthly goal until the month is actually over!


🤩 You ARE someone who works hard up until the last second of the month!


🤯 You ARE someone who RUNS through the finish line!
