Goals and Rocks part 2

Thanks for the coaching 🙂

In answer to
“As for goal 2, tell us why you chose 2000 as the number of pounds you want to enjoy selling? Why do you think it’s probably too low?”

I guess I chose it as a “realistic” target for a new creative business that I don’t yet have that much experience in. Also, basing it on the few months of sales I had before christmas after launching in october, I sold about £600 worth to my Pilates clients and at a craft fair. So it feels manageable to aim for that £2000 amount of sales.

Why do I think it probably is too low? Well it doesn’t seem like much money! I also have agreed with my husband a certain amount I need to contribute financially to the family within the next 3 years from my Pilates and my glass. And this target goal doesn’t meet that – although it doesn’t need to, seeing as I’m less than a year in.

The thought comes up – “I have to make more, otherwise it’s not possible for me to continue with this”
also “if I don’t start making enough, I have to set up more Pilates classes (which I don’t want to do)”

I have lots of thoughts around people not wanting/ being able to to spend much money on art or nice things for their homes and that I can’t make money from this thing that I love doing.

Look at the juicy thoughts that have emerged here from simply exploring the number! Wonderful!

There is nothing wrong with setting a realistic, or seemingly attainable goal based on evidence! We don’t always have to shoot for the stars in goal setting. Do you like the number and your reasons for choosing it? That’s what matters. Can you choose a goal that feels safe and be kind to yourself?

The beauty of this goal pursuit process is that you can totally change the number to mirror what either excites you or feels like a good challenge at any point on your journey.
