085. 6 Steps to Effective Homestead Goal Setting

I get the excitement and motivation that comes with the start of a new year. It's a fresh slate and a chance to set new goals and make positive changes. However, I also understand that it can be challenging to maintain that enthusiasm as the days go by. That's why it's important to approach goal-setting with a realistic mindset and create a plan that is achievable and sustainable in the long run. Remember to break down your goals into smaller, manageable tasks, and celebrate each milestone along the way to stay motivated throughout the year. I have a process for planning and goal setting that has served me well over the years, and I think it can help you if you struggle to plan or maintain your enthusiasm throughout the year. Planning and goal-setting process: Write down all goals Organize goals based on importance Create separate lists for "Must-Have" and "Want-To-Have" goals Prioritize Must-Have goals Divide the year into four quarters January through March (Quarter 1) April through June (Quarter 2) July through September (Quarter 3) October through December (Quarter 4) Select 1-2 goals from the Must-Have list for each quarter Create a task list for each goal within the quarters Include actionable daily, weekly, and monthly steps Mona's info: Free Homesteading for Beginners Checklist: https://www.healthyhomesteading.com/checklist/ Homesteading for Beginners workbook: https://healthyhomesteading.com/workbook Workshop for Beginner Homesteaders and Dreamers (includes workbook): https://www.healthyhomesteading.com/workshops/ Homestead Income YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@HomesteadIncome 101 Homestead Income Ideas List: https://www.healthyhomesteading.com/homesteadincome Homestead Income Plan Group (FACEBOOK): https://www.facebook.com/groups/homesteadincomeplan Mona's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farmer_mona/ Homesteading for Beginners YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@homesteadingforbeginners
