Your business is more than dollar signs. It's your skill. It's the product that inspired you to take the leap into entrepreneurship. Its' success depends on the systems you put in place. So as an entrepreneur, you're probably asking, "how do I set achievable and realistic business goals?" Answer: Connect your business goals directly to your business capabilities.

For example:Once your goal is defined, there's more than one way to meet it. Experiment. You may come up with a sustainable, repeatable way to meet your goal and grow your business. Keep looking for ways to improve your pace toward meeting goals.
Remember This: Regularly meeting your business goals relies on your business' well-defined, lasting capabilities.
