How to Set Your 90-Day Goals

Over the last couple of blogs, we’ve set your vision, and we’ve created an overview plan for the year. Now it’s time to take the next step to make 2024 amazing by setting 90-day goals.

Without recognising and focussing on the most important projects in your business, it will be very easy to get stuck in the day-to-day tasks. And before you know it, another month, quarter or even year has passed.

Most holistic practitioners aren’t taught how to set useful business goals when they train even if they’re taught to set goals with clients. The same as for your clients, you want to set business goals that are a stretch and will help you grow.

Start 2024 strong by focusing on your most important projects and understanding what your next steps are. This clarity will stop you from doing the stuff that doesn’t make a difference and focus on what will make the biggest positive impact on your business.

Why 90-day goals?

Three 3-months is far enough away to allow you to achieve something big but near enough to be achievable. It helps you gather your focus, energy, and attention in one direction, which is where the power lies.

Many successful business owners have a vision for their business, goals and an overview for the year, but they plan 90 days at a time. This keeps their focus. Even if new and exciting opportunities present themselves, they’ll be assessed for the next period which is a maximum of 90 days away.

Where do you want to be 90 days from now?

Based on your vision for your business, and your goals for this year, consider what you want to achieve in the next 90 days. List out everything you want to do and prioritise them. Check each item on the list moves you towards your vision for your business – if it doesn’t, question why it’s on your list.

Now take the top 1-5 items (dependent on the size of the projects) and create these into your goals. What will you have achieved in 90 days if you complete these goals? How happy will you feel with your progress?

Ask yourself why this is important to you – why you want to achieve this. Note this down and put it somewhere you will see it. This will help you to focus your efforts and keep you motivated to make it happen.

Get Support

Identify where you need support to make your goals happen. This could be getting a coach, learning new skills, or outsourcing elements – recognise where you need to invest to achieve your goals.

Setting the Plan in Motion

Take your goals one at a time and work out when you need to complete them – some maybe 30 days, and others will take the full 90 days. List down the steps you need to take and plot them across the 90 days. This will show you what you need to do, and when.

You then start to break the goals down into smaller ones. Move your focus to what needs to be accomplished in the next 30 days and then the next week. This will give you weekly goals which you can then break down into more details and set tasks for each day.

Reflect and Celebrate

At the end of each day reflect on your progress and celebrate your wins. Do the same thing at the end of the week – it’s also an opportunity to see if you need to make any adjustments for the following week.

Don’t wait until the end of the 90 days to find out you’ve fallen off track and things haven’t worked out. It’s important to reflect regularly and adjust as you go to ensure you’re moving towards your goal.

There is great power in having 90-day goals for your business. They will help you intentionally spend your available working time rather than drifting along.
