It's often popular to set New Year's Resolutions as individuals and for organizations to set new goals each year. It's important to set these goals each year and be SMART about the goals. They should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. And this time of year, many of us are good at setting these goals, but then what happens? They get set aside because, well, life or business happens. And we usually forget about these goals until Q4 and then either panic to complete them or just decide to push them to the next year. It's okay, it happens to all of us.
But at F&D we can help! Whether it's helping write SMART goals now, or managing and executing them throughout the year, we are happy to apply our collective decades of experience to assist with your needs. If there are ways we can help you or your business plan and grow, please reach out and let us know!
We've been going through our own goal-setting exercises. We've got specific areas where we want to improve. And like many other businesses we want to grow the bottom line. We are also redoubling our efforts in 2022 to be involved in our local communities. In 2021 we launched efforts to make donations to charities, help sponsor charitable events and organizations, and participate in events. But this year, we plan to do more. We are looking to partner with more organizations and help them to grow and be successful. We've got some organizations we are partnering with and there will be more to come. If you're looking for more ideas on how to set goals or partner with organizations, by all means, let us know!
