Part III: Planning ad Goal Setting for 2021
Samantha Rothman
As promised, I’m going to talk more about all things planning related during the month of January. Already I’ve posted two blog entries: one about my 2020 Vision Board and another on our monthly budgeting method. I believe in the importance of reflecting on the previous year before planning the future, hence why my review blog entry came first. To make progress on goals, you need to be honest with yourself about where you’re really at.
The financial planning post was actually easier to write because our goals for saving & spending are relatively stable from year to year. We are at a time in our lives when our priorities feel set for the next three or four years. Our next, up-coming large benchmark, financially, will be when our oldest son goes to college, which will be in about four years. Financial planning right now is more about keeping up with the process I’ve developed this past year that works for me.
This week I am to post about business planning and business goal setting for 2021. I anticipate this will be done over the course of a couple posts. I’ll cover farm planning in a separate post, as well as personal goal setting. This order feels most logical to me since the personal goals incorporate my business goals; it’s difficult to extract one from the other as an entrepreneur and a farmer.
Along the way, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite resources for being more intentional with my time and energy in the New Year.
