Citipeak Events Host Workshop on Setting Powerful Yet Achievable Goals

    LONDON, ENGLAND, November 04, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A smart business owner will understand the inherent value of goal setting in order to grow and progress a business in the right direction. Unfortunately, recent statistics have shown that more than 80% of the 300 small business owners (surveyed in the recent 4th Annual Staples National Small Business Survey) said that they don't keep track of their business goals and 77% have yet to achieve their overall vision for the company (source: www.inc.com, How to set Business Goals, 29th June 2010).

Goals are resolutions to achieve a desired result. Whether short or long-term, they provide a clear understanding of what a company is striving to accomplish. Successful companies set goals. Without them, they have no defined purpose and nothing to strive for; consequently, they stagnate and struggle for meaningful accomplishments. Goals are stepping stones to an end result. They must be present in every business plan and become a regular part of ongoing business operations.

Event marketing and sales firm, Citipeak Events recently hosted a workshop in their London office on how to set powerful yet achievable goals. The firm reviewed the article on success.com (Rohn: 4 Tips for Setting Powerful Goals, 28th June 2015) to prepare for their workshop.

1. Evaluate and reflect
Evaluation will give a person an objective way to look at recent accomplishments and it will show a person where they are, so they can determine where they need to go - it will provide a baseline to work from. If a person evaluates and reflects on a regular basis, they will see how much they are gaining which is exciting.

2. Define dreams and goals
This isn't what already has been done, but what a person wants to do. A person should write down their dreams and then prioritise them; which are most important and what are actually attainable

3. Make S.M.A.R.T goals
This means Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time sensitive.

Specific: Goals are no place to waffle. Ambiguous goals produce ambiguous results.
Measurable: Always set goals that are measurable.
Attainable: One of the detrimental things that many people do--with good intentions--is setting goals that are so high that they are unattainable.
Realistic: A goal has to be something that a person can reasonably make "real" or a "reality".
Time: Every goal should have a timeframe attached to it

4. Be accountable
A person should tell someone their goals so that they can be held accountable to ensure that the goals are being achieved. If a goal is set and no one knows about, the goal will lose power.
