Business Goal Setting Sapping Your Confidence? Now You Can Use Goal Setting to Build Your Confidence

If you have used traditional goal setting methods to set goals for your small business, you probably experienced the feeling of disappointment when your results fall short of your goals. But do you realize how your unachieved goals are truly affecting you? Small business owners pay an especially harsh price. Goal setting, using traditional methods taught by most business consultants and authors, can demolish your confidence in your abilities and put your self-esteem completely in the tank.

Initially, when small business owners sit down for a session of goal setting they are very optimistic and even somewhat idealistic about what is attainable. Goal setting requires making some guesses about what is attainable, often based on pretty sketchy information. We usually don’t realize how much guesswork actually goes into our goal setting, especially for long-term business goals. We don’t think of our goals as “educated guesses”; instead we tend to think of them as firm commitments.

Viewing long-term goals as firm commitments is fine, of course, until you look at your business goals from further down the road. When small business owners pull out their goals months after setting them they usually find themselves staring at a long list of all their unachieved goals and all the things they promised themselves they would accomplish and didn’t; all their hopes and dreams remain just that – hopes and dreams.

It is really no wonder that 87 percent of small business owners I have surveyed do not set goals of any kind, even though they are aware how critical business goal setting is to their success. They want more self-esteem and self-confidence not less. Who doesn’t want that?
