I LOVE the beginning of a new month. It always feels like a clean slate with so much possibility, and it’s the best time to get yourself organized to set up for success.
I’m also a goal getter and there are specific organization tips I give my coaching clients to help them crush their goals every month. It all starts at the beginning of the month. Let’s get you organized with these 5 Top tips to start your month right.
#1 WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS. The more realistic you are with your goals, the more likely you are to achieve them. It’s so important to WRITE them down.
When you write down your goals
- It forces you to clearly define your goals. You get a clear picture exactly what you want to achieve.
- It frees up room in your mind so you’re ready to move to the next step in achieving your goal.
- It stimulates creativity. You’ve written it down, you have clarity and the ideas will flow to help you get the results you want.
# 2. MAP OUT THE ACTIONS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE GOALS!
When I map out my actions to achieve my goal, I have a clear path ahead. Think about the TOP tasks, events or actions that are important to achieve this goal.
Determine the number of events/tasks/actions it will take to hit your goal. When you plan these tasks/events/actions, then prioritize which ones will lead you towards hitting your goal.
#3. SCHEDULE EVERYTHING ON YOUR CALENDAR! This is so important. When you schedule all your tasks/events /actions and important deadlines on your calendar you won’t worry you’ll miss deadlines. I recommend you schedule everything at the
beginning of the month and then each week adjust your schedule to hit your specific targets so you’re on track to hit your goal at the end of the month.
I write down all my tasks/events/actions on my WEEKLY DESKTOP NOTEPAD and this keeps me on track to hit each target ever week.
One extra tip:I always sync my phone calendar with my paper calendar so I never miss any deadlines.
#4 CREATE AN INCOME GOAL. I’m a huge advocate of knowing how much money you’re making in your business every month. The way to do that is to create an income goal. If you have a specific sales goal and pay attention to your expenses, then you know how much profit you want to have at the end of the month. Evaluating all your income, expenses and bills at the beginning of the month helps you budget and know what you want your business to pay for.

#5 START THE MONTH WITH AN IMPORTANT CHECKLIST. Start your month writing down a list of what you want to accomplish. I review my monthly to-do list every week to insure I’m on task to achieve them by the end of the month. Sometimes it’s a little ambitious, but it truly helps me accomplish more.
Checklists lists make you feel calm, focused and organized. Learn about the MAGIC OF CHECKLISTS in my latest newsletter.
It’s a NEW MONTH! I hope these tips inspire you to start each month feeling organized and ready for success!
