3 Tricks That Will Change the Way You Plan, Prioritize, and Conquer Your Goals

Are you a woman with a full-time job dreaming of launching your own business? Do you feel overwhelmed by the thought of juggling your career and entrepreneurial aspirations? Fear not! As an entrepreneurial coach dedicated to empowering women in their transition from employee to entrepreneur.  I have three game-changing tricks that will revolutionize the way you approach your goals. These hacks when done correctly and in-time, can definitely change the Way You Plan, Prioritize, and Conquer Your Goals in every aspect of your career. 

1. Embrace the Power of SMART Goals

The first trick is to set SMART goals. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. By defining your goals with these criteria, you create a clear roadmap for your entrepreneurial journey. This method not only provides direction but also helps you measure your progress and stay motivated.

Example of a SMART Goal 

Here is an example of a Short-term Goal: 

Earn 37,500 this month by presenting my Anti-Aging Skincare Set to a groups of at least 3 people twice a week this to sell a total of 15 sets of Anti-Aging sets. This will total to 75,000 gross sales and 37,500 of earnings. 

Here is an example of a Mid-term Goal: 

Boost my quarterly earnings to 112,500 by conducting at least 2 skincare workshops per week for the next three months. Each workshop will target groups of 5 or more people with the aim of selling at least 20 Anti-Aging Skincare Sets per month. This will result in total quarterly sales of 60 sets, generating 225,000 in gross sales and 112,500 in net earnings.

Now remember, Smart Goal Setting is important and is a great start, ongoing tracking and adjustments may be necessary to ensure success. 😊

2. Prioritize with the Eisenhower Matrix

The second trick involves prioritizing your tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix. This powerful tool helps you categorize tasks based on urgency and importance, allowing you to focus on what truly moves the needle. By distinguishing between 'urgent' and 'important', you can dedicate your precious time to activities that align with your long-term vision.

How to implement Eisenhower Matrix

The Eisenhower Matrix is a simple yet effective tool for time management and prioritization. It helps you decide on and prioritize tasks by urgency and importance, sorting out less urgent and important tasks which you should either delegate or not do at all.

Here's how to use the Eisenhower Matrix:

1. Draw a large square on a piece of paper or a digital note-taking app. Divide this square into four smaller squares.
2. Label the top two squares as 'Urgent' and 'Not Urgent'.
3. Label the two squares on the left as 'Important' and 'Not Important'.
4. Place your tasks in one of the four categories:

• Urgent and Important -  (tasks you will do immediately).
• Important, but Not Urgent - (tasks you will schedule to do later).
• Urgent, but Not Important - (tasks you will delegate to someone else).
• Neither Urgent nor Important -  (tasks you will drop)
•  

     5. Focus on completing your tasks in the 'Urgent and Important' square first. These are your top priorities.

     6. Plan time to work on tasks in the 'Important, but Not Urgent' square. These tasks are important for your long-term goals.

     7. Delegate or automate tasks  in the 'Urgent, but Not Important' square. These are the tasks that need to get done but don't necessarily have to be done by you.

    8. Eliminate tasks** in the 'Neither Urgent nor Important' square. These are the distractions that you can do without.

By using the Eisenhower Matrix, you can effectively manage your time and ensure that you're working on the tasks that are most beneficial to achieving your goals. It's a strategy that promotes productivity and helps you to stay focused on what truly matters.

Give it a try and see how it transforms your planning and prioritization process!

3. Master the Art of Time Blocking

Lastly, the third trick is time blocking. This technique involves dedicating specific blocks of time to particular tasks or activities. It's about protecting your time for high-priority work and minimizing distractions. Time blocking not only boosts productivity but also ensures that you make consistent progress towards your entrepreneurial goals.

By incorporating these three strategies into your planning and prioritization, you'll be well on your way to conquering your goals and thriving as an entrepreneur. Remember, it's not about having more time; it's about making the most of the time you have.

So, take the leap, and let's turn those entrepreneurial dreams into reality!
