Angela Mondor breaks down Stephen Covey's method for hitting goals: set a yearly target, then divide it into quarters, months, and weeks so small weekly actions compound into yearly wins. She walks through examples like revenue targets and audience growth.

But when you start with that end in mind, which is another Stephen Covey thing, that yearly goal, and you break it down into the quarters and you break it down into the months, and then you put your weeks together based on what you're going to do in that month, now it becomes a whole lot more manageable. Instead of trying to think about that whole year's worth of time, now you're only thinking about what am I doing this week in order to accomplish things for this month, and it rolls uphill. So this is different than the way a corporate world would do it. This is a different way of seeing things than a lot of people teach. So I'm going backwards. Okay, I want you to think about this and being able to say, what is it that I'm going to do? That's your goal. Now, your goals can be financial, your goals could be based on how many people you want in your audience, they could be I'm going to sell X amount of things, I'm going to grow my email list, blah blah blah. Like, there's a lot of different kinds of goals that you can create.
