Goal Setting for Finding Members

The importance of setting goals to hit targets

Set Goals to Hit Targets

A recent blog posting from the tabbed section on Personal Branding reminds us of the process of goal-setting. Heather Huhman, speaks to the idea of setting goals. Heather writes as guest blogger on the Personal Branding Blog, one of my favorite blogs in the unique space of Personal Branding.

Even someone as focused and driven as myself, occassionally forgets to set and monitor goals - I know that's really hard to believe about Barry Deutsch.

Do you have specific goals?

Do you want 18 members at the end of the year vs. the 12 you have now?

Do you have to identify 24 potential members through networking outside of your group referrals to hit that number?

Are you a diligent goal-setter or do you just let it be - and whatever happens will happen - doesn't matter if you get 12,13, or 22?

If you remember the Vistage Chair presentation I may have given to your group, we talked a lot about goal setting and metrics/activities to monitor if you're on track.

Do you treat the size of your group (business) like a real business or is it more of a hobby?

Tell me about your goals and the metrics/activities you track to determine if you're staying on target.
