“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.” – Thomas Carlyle
Without clear and specific goals, you will end up nowhere.
An entrepreneur without a goal could be the most pathetic entrepreneur ever, not to mention boring. His business drifts where the waves throw it because it has no direction.
An entrepreneur with a goal on the other hand knows where he or she is going. What must be accomplished is clear. The future has been envisioned.
All business activities or series of efforts are orchestrated toward the goal.
The goal motivates the entrepreneur to think and work. His/Her daily routine could not be a drag or a bore. It is very exciting especially when there is progress.
Write down your goals, post them where you always see them, establish a process to reach them, make a timetable for each part of the process, estimate the cost, and act on them!
