If you want your freelance business to grow, you should list goals and plans.
Your written plan is just the start of the whole business goal process. This list should contain your wishes, objectives, planned time for achieving each goal, and others.
Each business is unique, but some of the objective processes that will get you faster to your goal are:
- Define and name the goal that you want to achieve
- Describe in short what is the goal of the task/project
- Define your priority in achieving the goal. If it is essential, prioritize the time you spend on the tasks. By writing this, I mean spending less time on social media or in front of the TV if that is not important for your business. You are setting goals for your freelance business, but remember to have a social and relaxing time.
- Break down the whole project into small tasks. Be honest and realistic. This way, you will have a better picture of what needs to be done and how difficult it is.
- Enter the necessary tools and help that you need in the whole process
- Write your planned time for each stage of the plan
- Track and analyze every step of the process. Write and acknowledge small victories because they are essential for staying motivated.
- After finishing the first small task, have time for testing it. For example, you will give yourself 30 days for something to achieve. If that does not work, reorganize your plan and start over. You may need more time. Failure is not wrong because you’ve at least tried to do something.
- Staying motivated is sometimes hard when you need help seeing the end of the process. One of the things you can do is reward yourself after 15 days of achieving small but significant victories.
- After 30 days, write down your objective conclusion about what you’ve achieved. It is essential in cases where you succeed.
- In the end, if the plan could have gone better, start over and rewrite it.
