Annual Goal Setting
1. Take 15 minutes and do a “brain dump.” Write down your goals in the GOAL column. When you
look back at yourself at the end of the year, what do you want to say you have accomplished?
Do not lter your goals! Think about sales, partnerships, projects, hiring, expanding, outsourc-
ing, accounting, communication, advertising, publishing, etc.

2. Look at your Goal List. What is the MOST important goal? Number the goals from most import-
ant to least important. The most important is #1.
3. Now that you have the goals numbered, write them in order in the “Goal” line from most im-
portant to least important.
4. These are all “Outcome” goals, so next to the goals, get specic and set a “good, better, best”
take on the goals. Instead of big lofty statementslike- “I’m going to make $10 million dollars in
2016,” have more specic goals like these below:
Good: I want to make $500 by selling 2 design packages at $250 each
Better: I want to make $10,000 by selling 10 design packages at $1,000 each
Best: I was to make $50,000 by selling 25 design packagesat $2,000 each
Specically,
Good,will betotally do-able
Better,is probably do-able
Best- a huge reach- the kind that you would throw a party for if you attained it.

5. Take the first THREE goals and break them down into steps. For example, if your goal is to
make $100,000, you would need the following steps:
To make that, can I sell 2 design jobs at a $50,000 fee?
Can I sell 2 design jobs at $10,000 fee and sell product for $30,000?
Do I have any potential clients?
Contact the potential clients (send a gift, mail a handwritten card, make a call)
