Goal Setting For Quarter Two
After years of getting into the rhythm of setting business goals, I totally get the overwhelming feeling that comes from the thought of setting your camera aside, sitting down at your desk, and thinking through big-picture ideas.
Yes, I call myself a business educator and no longer spend all my days shooting, but it wasn’t long ago I was trying to find a balance between working in my business and working on my business.
There are a few guidelines for goal setting I want to make sure we’re clear on before I walk you through planning specific goals.
First off, don’t set goals for something you don’t care about. Social media makes it easy to compare what you’re doing with what everyone else is doing. If you aren’t careful you could end up setting goals for areas you don’t even care about. Thus, making it extremely difficult to accomplish them OR feel passionate about working toward them.
Secondly, don’t be afraid to take the time for quarterly goal setting. As someone who would rather be DOING than PLANNING, sitting down to write a list of goals was like pulling teeth. However, once I realized how important it was to have a clear direction I never stopped doing it.
Ok, now it’s time to actually do the dirty work of mapping out your Q2 goals!
Brain dump big picture goals
Do you want to book more sessions? Do you want to start creating client guides? Do you want to mentor other photographers? Make new presets? Start an email list? Write all your ideas down and don’t limit yourself here, this is the fun part!
Narrow it down
Take a look at your “dream list” and circle the ideas that you want to walk toward FIRST. What things are most important and make sense in your business right now? For example, if you want to mentor other photographers, it might be a good idea to start an email list first!
Make it attainable
Now that you’ve circled a goal to work toward it’s time to make sure the goal fits the window of time you’re working in. Of course, you can work toward the same goal next quarter, but having something you can check off the list come Q3 will without a doubt make you less overwhelmed and more likely to accomplish it.
Make a plan
There's a reason for the quote, “a goal without a plan is just a wish.” Once you have your attainable Q2 goal, make a checklist of objectives needed to accomplish it. What are the little tasks that will help you move the needle on the big goal? For example, if your goal is to start an email list then you’ll need to find an email provider, maybe draft emails for future use, or create social media posts to launch your list.
Setting a quarterly goals is not as scary as it seems. I’m confident that if you take the time to brainstorm your big goals, narrow them down, make them attainable and make a plan to achieve them you WILL find success!
Rest assured I will be cheering you on along the way!

I want to thank all those who have been helping others get their loved ones back with the help of Dr. Odunga. You guys really helped me find the right spell caster.
This is about a real spell caster who did a great thing for me. My name is Kurtis Williams. This testimony is about this great spell caster Doctor Odunga who helped me restore my love life back. Me and my wife had a fight and this fight led to us filing a divorce paper with the court and I had made up my mind. My wife was also at the same time furious about the whole issue and my family was broken into two opposite sides. With advice from a good friend of the family I decided to save my marriage and consult a spell caster to save my marriage. I went online into the internet and searched for a real spell caster’s testimony and after reading the testimony of Doctor Odunga I knew he was the spell caster needed to save my marriage and my family from being divided. It was a twist of fate when my wife came to me one evening and said she had withdrawn the divorce papers and she didn’t want to leave me anymore. She loves me so much. I knew that the spell had worked and my marriage had been saved from jeopardy. This is a real spell caster and I believe there are people who need the help of a spell caster. Why not contact the one and true spell caster to put an end to all your problems and save your love life just like he did save my marriage. Thank you so much doctor for everything you did.
