Goals For Dog Walkers
Happy 2011!
Can you believe it's here already? Time flies, huh?
If you're a dog walker or pet sitter, now (yes, right now) is the time to get your plans for the new year in order. Yes, it's going to take a little time to figure out what you want for this year, but that time will be worth it.
Unfortunately, a lot of people spend the time and effort to figure out their goals, but then forget what they thought of.
That's why the #1 thing you should do now (yes, right now) is:
- write your goals down. on paper. so you can see them. every day.
I know, I know - you've heard this all before.
But, have you actually done it? If not, give it a try.
Ask yourself about these goals:
- Am I doing what I want each day, week, month?
- How happy am I doing what I'm doing?
- What can I learn that would help me the most?
- What do I know I need to improve and how can I take action on getting better?
- Are my finances the way I want them?
- Are my clients as happy as they could be?
- Are my team members as engaged as they should be?
- What's the #1 biggest thing I want to change in 2011?
That quick list should get you started on thinking about your goals. Put in even just a little time thinking about these questions and then make sure to write down your answers.
You may just find that it actually helps you.
