It’s a fact for every entrepreneur – you want your small business to grow. Whether a side hustle freelancing for a handful of clients or a vegan food truck on the streets of Kansas City, your small business can benefit and grow with the help of micro goals.
Made up of small steps, these goals should be dependent only on actions you can take yourself in the near future. They need to be doable, while building the foundation for your macro goals as a company. Simply put, micro goals set the stage for your long-term goals to succeed.
Three micro goals you can achieve this month with your small business are:
Attend Two Networking Events
Local networking events are the perfect way to get to know other people in your unique industry. These events take all shapes – from early breakfasts to happy hours – and can help you get your foot in the door with new clients and partners. By making it a priority, attending events like these will help expand your own network for future use.
Update Your Profiles
Let’s be honest – a lot of business is done online. After all, it is 2020. Make sure your business is up-to-date on the internet by giving a good audit to each of your social profiles. While you’re checking for broken links and updating your mission statement, go ahead and make a new post or two so that you can remain relevant to your followers – while gaining a few more.
Make Personalized Connections
Handwritten thank you notes may be old school, but they’re a classic for a reason. After each meeting you take as a small business owner, be mindful to send a nice note in the mail. It will only take a couple of minutes and a few thoughtful sentences, but the relationships it will build with your growing network will be unmatched.
