How To Create An Action Plan For Your Goals

April 26, 2018 by Lindsay Teague Moreno Leave a Comment

It’s time to create an action plan for your goals. By now you should have one SMART goal ready to go, but what do you do next?

If you haven’t read my post on setting SMART goals yet, go do that now. 

Before we start I want to say, don’t be intimidated if your goal seems like a giant, unattainable task. That’s normal!

Setting goals can feel overwhelming and I think that’s why people who aren’t intentional about action plans don’t achieve theirs.

Not you though. You’re going to learn how to crush your goals!

To make it easier and more achievable, we’re going to break it down and tackle it a little bit at a time.

Let’s take a look at how to create an action plan for your goals:

  1. Write your major goal down in a notebook or my favorite Productivity Pad. You can also use an app like Wunderlist if you prefer digital.
  2. Give yourself a deadline on when the goal needs to be completed by.
  3. Break down the smaller parts of the goal. What needs to happen to achieve it? For example, if you want to write 6 blog posts in May you’ll need to jot down ideas, research the subject, write the copy, edit the copy, make graphics or take photographs, finalize and schedule the posts.
  4. Schedule each task depending on your timeline. What must you do today, tomorrow, and the next day to meet your deadline?
  5. Choose your most important tasks and do them before anything else. Don’t check your phone or your email or Facebook until you finish these.
  6. Check off your smaller tasks and watch them add up to achieving your big goal!

If you do this every time, goal setting should feel easier and more rewarding. You will achieve more goals if you write them down, make an action plan, and refer to it often.

This only works if you do! You have to keep it in front of you every day and work your small tasks in priority.

Once you master this, you’ll be on your way to being a goal crushing machine!

1 Trick For Defining Your Business Goals

April 25, 2018 by Lindsay Teague Moreno Leave a Comment

Anywhere you look, there’s someone telling you to set goals for you business, but defining them isn’t always easy. Or is it?

What if there was a trick that would help you define and measure your goals, and even motivate you to achieve them?

It’s time to get SMART!

Maybe you’ve heard of setting SMART goals, but haven’t put them into action. Or if you have, it hasn’t been for long enough to make a difference.

Let’s change that. The SMART goals method is your ticket to achieving more.

Here’s a breakdown of what all this means:

S is for SPECIFIC: You need to dial down and spell out exactly what your goal is. For example, one of your goals might be to build up your email list, but that’s not specific. You need to answer the WHO, WHAT, WHY, and WHEN first in order to find out what’s required to achieve this goal. Who are you targeting to get on your email list? What will you do to get them? Why do you want to build the list? When does this need to take place? A specific goal would be that you want to build your email list giving away free PDFs, in order to build a potential customer base for your next product launch.

M is for MEASURABLE: How will you measure building your email list? Maybe you want to increase the overall number by 20% in the next 3 months. This is pretty easy to set once you’ve got a specific goal.

A is for ATTAINABLE: So now you know you want a 20% increase in your email list in the next 3 months. Is that attainable for you? Take a minute to compare this goal to your previous performance and see if you need to scale it back a little. You might even need to increase it. The point is that we want to achieve these goals so stretch, but don’t reach so far that you’ll never achieve it in that set time.

R is for RELEVANT: Let’s say want to build up your email list, but you don’t even have a website yet. Would this goal move your business further or do you need to work on the website first? Make sure your goal is relevant to your growth right now.

T is for TIME BOUND: This is one of the most important parts so listen up! You must give yourself a deadline on this goal. Give yourself a due date and stick to it!

Seems doable, right? You can totally do this!

The next step is to set up an action plan – stay tuned for that post.

5 More Ways To Practice Self Care For The Busy Momtrepreneur

April 9, 2018 by Lindsay Teague Moreno 1 Comment

Last week I wrote a post giving five ways a busy momtrepreneur can practice self care.

You can read it here: 5 Ways To Practice Self Care For The Busy Momtrepreneur.

Self care is super important when you’re running a business and raising a family.

I don’t think it’s talked about or practiced enough so I wanted to touch on this again.

Here are five MORE quick and easy ways to get self care.

  1. Stretch: You can stretch your body almost anywhere. If you’re at home, take 10-15 minutes to move through different parts of your body. If you’re out you can raise your arm over your head and take a few breaths. Switch arms and repeat. You will feel better instantly and this doesn’t take a lot of time.
  2. Write down how you’re feeling: This is a quick way to disengage from your emotions so they don’t affect your work. When bad days happen just recognize them, write down your feelings and let it go. Don’t make this super involved – a few lines will do.
  3. Change it up: Sometimes just adding a new dinner to the rotation or trying a new walking route is enough to break that autopilot feeling we get stuck in. Of course, you can go big and change your hair color or get a new lipstick too!
  4. Declutter one space: Pick an area of your house and get rid of a few things. Clean up and put things where they belong. For me this always starts in my office. A clean workspace is a great way to feel ready to work.
  5. Write your Monday to-do list on Sunday: I know this sounds like more work, but it feels good because as soon as you get your Monday on paper, you can forget about it and enjoy your Sunday.

I’d love to hear how you felt after trying these!

3 Ways To Make Social Media More Social

April 5, 2018 by Lindsay Teague Moreno 4 Comments

If you’re like me, you’re trying to make your social media more ummmm social.

You know, where it’s actually fun again!

With all the algorithms and paid content and everything else to confuse us, social media can be kind of draining.

Especially when you aren’t getting the results you want.

Let’s talk about three easy ways you can make social media more social. And more fun!

  1. Get personal in your stories: I love the stories feature on Instagram and Facebook and I use them regularly. It’s a great way to show more of your life and really dig in with your audience. Be vulnerable. Talk about the bad and the good. Share struggles that your target audience can relate to. Ask for advice. In my opinion, this is one of the best ways for your audience to get to know the real you. The one that exists outside of staged photos and curated newsfeeds.
  2. Do more videos: I think videos are going to become even more popular on social media this year. I also think it’s a great way to get personal with your audience. There is no better way to feel like someone is talking to you than a video. I think live videos are extra good because you can interact real time. Just make sure you are talking on stuff that makes your audience want to comment.
  3. Interact, interact, interact: Do you make a post and then shut your Instagram app? Or maybe you’ve got it set to auto-post and you don’t know when it’s happening? STOP THAT! With the latest algorithm, it’s decided within the first 30 minutes whether to keep pushing your post out or let it get buried. The more interaction you have within that time, the better! Commit to posting and then sticking around for 10-20 minutes after to like and reply to comments. Since you’re trying to get comments to help, you need to be posting stuff that is relatable and elicits some response from your audience too.

Give these a try and see what you think!
