I just noticed a great guest post over at Alice Seba’s Internet Sweetie Blog by Jan Ferrante that pretty much is spot on when starting to make business goals for your home online business.

She states that one should always start with their mission statement first, then create the goals that will bring the mission statement to life.

This is a great blog, one that I follow regularly. You might want to click on over and check it out.

Here’s the teaser for Jan Ferrante’s article and then the link that will take you over there.

Goal Setting For Increased Productivity

After creating your business mission statement, goal setting becomes a lot easier.

You can create big picture goals to help you to decide how many hours you want to work.

For example, if you are a mom of 3 small children working from home and wanting to earn enough to pitch in for groceries and spending money, your major goal will be to grow happy healthy kids, working part time.

This will immediately give you an idea how many work hours to plan into your schedule.

If your kids are grown or you have none and your goal is to replace your corporate salary – obviously it will be clear that you will be scheduling a full work day.

That is pretty much cut and dry.

TARGET YOUR GOALS

But you can use goal setting with a different spin to help you to decide what tasks to plan during your focused working hours.

• How about subscriber goals?
• Web traffic goals?
• Product specific sales goals?

Setting goals for specifics like this give instant focus and motivation to your efforts.
