Have you set goals for your business over the next twelve months? If so, you’re not alone. Goal setting no matter how big or small is an essential ongoing process. “Goals in writing are dreams with deadlines,” as author and motivational speaker, Brian Tracy once exclaimed.

Some may ask, “Is goal setting really necessary?” People may contend that goals are unimportant, but most successful entrepreneurs realize that they are critical. “The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score (Copeland).”
