Welcome back to Business & Budgets! I hope you are off to an amazing start with your plan of action that you have put in effect for the new year. If you haven't checked out part I of Failing to Plan, Is Planning to Fail Part I, check it out here! In this post we will cover the different types of goals you should set for yourself. I also have attached a few worksheets to help you plan your goals and track your progress.
There are 5 different types of goals you should plan for a well rounded strategy. These five categories are:
Personal Goals: How do you want to look and behave
Family, Friends & Relationship Goals: How do you want to relate and communicate
Heart & Spirit Goals: How do you want to feel, glow and grow
Financial Goals: How much do you want save, invest, increase and spend your funds
Work, Career and Study Goals: How are you going to take your work life to the next level
In an effort to help you plan your goals and break them down into something more feasible I have attached a few of my own personal examples.
Personal Goal Example: Take better care of my body
How to get to this goal: Eating cleaner and working out more often
Month Goals: Don't eat meat more than 4+ times, workout at 12+ times
Weekly Breakdown: Shop local, add more vegan recipes to the kitchen, 2 workouts and 1 run
