The New Year brings the feeling of a fresh start. With it, comes an obligatory need to set goals for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not against goal setting, but entrepreneurs often get too wrapped up in only<\/em> financial goals and not enough in work-life balance or simply life goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider trying some of these non-financial goals for a successful 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Non-Monetary Goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There was a reason you became an entrepreneur. For many of us, that reason is freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time freedom. Work freedom. Life freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you getting that kind of freedom in your day-to-day work life, or are you working more than ever? If it’s the latter, it’s time to reconsider your priorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIME GOALS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A goal for you might be: work no more than 30 hours per week.<\/strong> That way, you’ll have incredibly focused work time, then plenty of time for family, friends, and whatever else you value spending time on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WEALTH GOALS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Other goals might be indirectly related to financial success and what that means to you. For instance, instead of assigning a number to wealth (e.g. “If I make $xxxxx this month, I’ll be happy), get clear on what wealth feels <\/em>like to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A goal for you might be: I want to hire a [private chef, landscaper, cleaner, assistant\/other employee, etc.].<\/strong> Whatever activities don’t bring you joy or give you time that you could devote elsewhere is exactly what you should be working towards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Health Goals <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t think your health and your work are interconnected, think about the last time that exhaustion pushed you to your limits on getting something done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy eating, exercise, and sleep will help you show up as a happier, more fulfilled version of yourself in all aspects of your life, not just your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to steer clear of weight loss (or numbers) goals, as they don’t give a good picture. Instead, try to focus on how you’ll feel. A goal for you might be: I want to feel full of energy and good in my skin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or try to use numbers in a way that works: I want to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try getting super specific in your goals, like: I want to be in bed by 10:00pm and up by 6:00am.<\/strong> A goal might also be: I want to work out at least 4 days a week.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Feelings Goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, feelings have a place in business too. Think about it: happiness and passion, at a minimum, should come into play. After all, why be in business for yourself if you’re not going to feel happy or passionate about what you’re doing?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the non-monetary suggestions above, feelings goals should be supportive of your intentions for both work and life. For you, that might look like: I want to wake up and feel excited for the work I get to do today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or you might try to make your goal more quantitative (and easier to measure). That may look like: I want to help more people by offering scholarships to 5 deserving clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

No matter what your New Year’s goals this year, try infusing some of these non-financial goals in your business in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
