4 Signs Your Money Goals Are Optimized For Success

Have you picked your money goals for this year? If so, excellent. I advise my clients to pick two numbers:

BASE GOAL – covers your expenses + salary to yourself.

STRETCH GOAL – represents what you’d be thrilled to make.

Now let’s check in on your numbers.

Here are 4 Signs Your Money Goals are Optimized for Your Success:

1. They excite you.

You can feel an emotional uplift inside yourself at the thought of achieving them. It’s enough to pull you out of bed in the morning and stay the course even when the going gets a little…shall we say, trying.

2. Their purpose is deeply meaningful.

Your money has purpose. What you spend it on is deeply important to you. This is called your Money Why. It can range from paying your bills, reducing debt, paying for children’s education, building your business… all the way to going on a family vacation, upgrading a vehicle, funding your retirement and more. You don’t need to justify or explain this Money Why to anyone else. And most definitely, making money is not a selfish act!

3. You can reverse engineer your goals.

It is so important to bring clarity to what it takes to manifest your money goal numbers. Without clarity, the mind struggles to know what to do and can easily get overwhelmed.

You don’t need a complex calculation. For each main service offering, you can simply calculate:

# of clients X $ per client = Revenue from that service offering.

Add that across a few main revenue sources (ie. service offerings) and your income goal can be reverse-engineered like so:

You can play with the numbers — both the number of clients you serve and investment they pay —  to see what you’d need for both your base and stretch goal numbers. Is it another higher end service offering or just more flowing through your existing offerings?

Once your mind can see what numbers it takes to achieve your money goals, things seem more do-able. Then the focus turns toward finding ideal clients and fine-tuning those offerings.

4. You are energized by your work.

Energy doesn’t lie. If you are energized by the work you do, it will show. Clients will feel it. You will feel it. There is an attractive energetic resonance. You won’t dread putting in the focused effort. If you are not energized by the work, it will feel exhausting and uninspiring. Energetically, clients will feel that and you may notice a slow-down in business — not because the service isn’t good, but because you are not energetically aligned.

Sometimes, we can love the work we do, yet need to shift how we work — to stay out of overdrive and work joyfully. This also means having the systems and support to make your world flow.

When you think of your money goals for this year, do they get a resounding “Yes” with all 4 signs above?

If so, awesome. If not, consider revisiting.

  • Does the goal need changing, or how you work?
  • Have you connected the money goal to something deeply meaningful?
  • Do you need more clarity about your offerings, or now just concrete plans for greater marketing and visibility?

You can do this. I believe in you. Please reach out if you need help!
