Female entrepreneurs need for goalsetting a clear vision, understanding their motivation, and a plan to get there. Most female entrepreneurs know that goals should be SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound). But beyond setting SMART goals, you need to find a way to keep your goals even when the going gets tough, and a clear plan of how you’ll get there.

That’s where a business coach for women can come and offer help for what female entrepreneurs need for goalsetting. We’ll go over a few tips in this article, but if you want more individualized help then you can register for a masterclass on creating a year-long business plan.

5 Things Female Entrepreneurs Need for Goalsetting

Find Your Why: Not, Just What or How

Often when goalsetting it’s easy to know what you want to do, and if you do a little planning you can know how to get there but it’s critically important to know why you want to achieve your goals.

Simon Sinek explains this concept in his book, Find Your Why. “WHATs are products, services, and job functions we perform. HOWs are values, guiding principles, and actions that make us stand out. The WHY defines what the organization stands for—it is the collective purpose, cause, or belief.”

Knowing your why, or core motivation will help you when you hit an inevitable roadblock, plateau, or start to feel burnout.

Set Difficult, Stretched Goals

Female Entrepreneurs

Female entrepreneurs should set goals that stretch them but are also attainable. You want to grow, but you also don’t want to overwork yourself. If your goal doesn’t excite you and scare you at the same time, it’s probably not challenging enough.

Find a goal that is a healthy balance of growth slightly outside of your comfort zone but realistic. That is much easier said than done! A business coach for women can help you find the right balance of stretch goals that are achievable.

Work Backwards

Don’t be afraid to set goals ten years from now and work backward from there on what you need to do to achieve them.

One of the best ways for female entrepreneurs to achieve long-term goals is to break them up into smaller, short-term goals. Determine five-year, three-year, and one-year milestones that will help you get to your big goals.

Record and Evaluate Progress

Recording and evaluating your progress will help you achieve your goals. Studies show that you are 42% more likely to accomplish a goal if you write it down.

In goal setting, you should record your progress regularly. Writing down your progress will help you stay motivated and over time you can look back at how far you’ve come. While it will take time to record and evaluate your goals, it will be worth it in the end.

Recruit Support
