Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Goal-Getting Guidebook is an innovative, finance-based approach to the goal-setting process developed especially for creatives and makers. It's time to set goals that are measurable, motivating, and most of all - actionable. My process begins with setting a goal to PAY YOURSELF from your business this year. We break that big dreamy goal down into sales, expense, and orders goals, and then continue to work backwards until you are left with a detailed, actionable roadmap to guide your day to day work. This goal-setting process helps you focus on tasks that are meaningful - so you can stop spinning your wheels, working willy nilly on "busy work" tasks that don't move you towards your big take-home pay goal. The Guidebook enables you to focus on creating profitability in your handmade shop, so you can finally achieve your big financial goals and dreams! Consider this your numbers-based planner to REVIEW last year's results, SET goals for the new year, and TRACK your progress towards them each month. The Guidebook has three main sections: Review 2018 results - we crunch some numbers to create a steady baseline, analyzing what worked and what didn't work for you. Set 2019 goals - based on what you've learned thus far, we set smart financial goals for the new year. We dive deep into your goals and lay out an strategic road map for what we will focus on throughout the year to achieve the financial goals you've set. Progress tracking - use monthly tracking sheets to monitor your progress throughout the year so you can pivot and adjust as needed. This Guidebook is not just about setting goals - it's about actively taking those goals and figuring out how you must change your day-to-day actions to REACH them. Your purchase includes not only this Guidebook, but access to the digital spreadsheet file if you want some help crunching those numbers or prefer to track things electronically as well. It also includes membership to the Goal-Getting community on Facebook, where I host a plan-a-thon each year. Join us as we work through many of the exercises in this book live with a like-minded community of makers.
