Are the goals that you created on January 1, been met, or were they gone by January 2? If so, all hope is not lost, you can run a half-yearly assessment and get back on track.
Steps for an Effective Half-Yearly Goal Assessment
Review Initial Goals: Reflect on the goals set at the beginning of the year. Are they still relevant and achievable? These are two of the criteria for SMART goals.
Evaluate Progress: Assess what has been accomplished so far. Identify areas where you have excelled and areas needing improvement. You can use your analytics program if this is relevant.
Identify Challenges: Recognize any obstacles that have hindered progress. Consider how these challenges can be addressed. This will also help you to prevent these from occurring again.
Adjust Goals: Modify your goals based on the evaluation. Set new targets if necessary to stay aligned with your business aspirations. These goals should align with your mission statement that you created when you formed your business.
