As entrepreneurs, we are frequently encouraged and advised to set big, hairy, audacious goals (BHAGs). But what does that really mean and how do you achieve those goals when they seem so far-fetched and unattainable? What value can setting long-term, seemingly unattainable goals have for your business? Should we always dare to think big, or should we set more reachable targets to avoid disappointment?
Setting goals is vital to staying motivated in online business, and nothing compares to the feeling of achieving them. With that in mind, wouldn't it more satisfying to achieve a big, hairy, audacious goal than something that was relatively simple?
In this episode of The Sigrun Show, I explain what a big, hairy, audacious goal is and why entrepreneurs need to set big goals even when they feel unattainable. I share how setting big goals can inspire you to grow your business and build your team’s spirit. I also share how setting big, hairy, audacious goals has impacted my business – and my life – and how achieving those goals can impact your confidence and ability to achieve great success.
