178: How to Set Photography Goals that Stick!

Setting goals can be a difficult task. Well, setting goals isn’t
difficult but setting goals that stick is a difficult task. We
know this because 83% of new years resolutions are broken by
February. Therefore the problem to solve is how to set BETTER
goals. Today I share my 9 steps process for setting photography
goals that stick.


Step 1: Realize you need to make a change


You can only make change when you WANT to change.


Step 2: Figure out WHERE you need to make a change


Ask yourself “What feels broken” “What do I need help with”
because where you feel the most pain you can make the most
growth.


Step 3: Set More Epic Goals


Don’t set goals too crazy or too simple. “Book 60 weddings” when
you have never shot a wedding is crazy. “Learn Photography” it
too simple. Create a goal thats in between.


Step 4: Write down your goals and make it seen


When you physically write out your goals on paper you’re 43% more
likely to achieve them. When you post them somewhere you see them
every day you increase that chance exponentially. My goals are
posted above my computer.


Step 5: Make Baby steps


Make baby steps that it will take to achieve your goals to keep
the momentum going.


Step 6: Make a challenge out of it


When you turn your goals into a game you’re more likely to keep
up with the baby steps. Write them down on a calendar and mark
them off every day.


Step 7: Check in with your goals


Set a date on your calendar quarterly to check in with your
goals, re assess, and plan for the next quarter for new goals.


Step 8: Hang out with people who are also moving forward


“You are the sum of the 5 people closest to you” When you spend
more time with photographers doing great things, you will elevate
your skills and desire to do great things. Nowhere is that more
important than when you go from hobby photographer to making
money with your camera. Surrounding yourself a group of others
dedicated to growing their business and making money is the key
to quick growth.

Step 9: Simulate what your life would look like after you hit
your goals


Achieving your goals both planning and motivation. Picturing your
life after you achieve your goals will give you the motivation
you need to keep going!
