There’s more to achieving a goal than just setting one.
As we start another new year, it’s the perfect time for you, the ambitious woman entrepreneur, to focus on setting healthy goals. This upcoming year holds great promise, especially if you aim to conquer business-interfering fatigue and new sales quotas.
How many times have you told yourself that this will be the year?
The year you…
- Get your energy back
- Sleep 8 hours every night
- Eat more “healthy”
- Ditch the stress and make more time for self-care
- Figure out what’s really going on with your hormones
- Or get to the bottom of your bloating and digestive struggles
…and ultimately get back to feeling like yourself again
Let’s get a head start and ensure that this year, your goals don’t just remain plans.
Here are five strategies to set you on the path to setting healthy goals:
1 – Find Your Deep ‘Why’
It’s essential to look beyond the surface. Is your goal to increase your energy so you can improve business performance? Or to achieve mental clarity for better decision-making? Pairing getting to bed by 10 pm with increased productivity or eliminating a carb-heavy breakfast with getting a proposal finished in half the usual time are strong motivators you can feel and get behind. Your underlying motivation is what will keep you driven.
It’s not just about setting a healthy goal; it’s about connecting with the reasons behind it.

2 – Cut Out Distractions
Distractions can take many forms, from unhealthy eating habits to cluttered workspaces and draining social interactions. When setting healthy goals and ways to achieve them, prepare your environment to be conducive. Tidy up your work area and remove the empty processed foods from your pantry and fridge. Set your phone on focus mode, create firm boundaries with those who detract from your plan, and align your daily activities with your objectives.
Once the distractions and clutter are out, you can move forward on a clear path.
3 – Build on Existing Habits
Instead of trying to establish entirely new routines, enhance your current ones. If you already have a morning routine, incorporate a brief meditation or a planning session for your health and business goals.
Assess your current habits and one or two ways to build upon them for better results. This approach makes it easier to adopt new habits without feeling overwhelmed.
4 – Gather Your Support Network
Setting healthy goals isn’t something you need to do alone. Building a network of experts and mentors can give you the support and guidance you need. This network might include a nutritionist, a business coach, or a group of peers in a mastermind group facing similar challenges. Their expertise and encouragement can be invaluable. Accountability buddies are great for motivation, too.
Set yourself up for success by hiring the right experts to hold you accountable and give you the necessary resources to feel and do your best. You are worth it!
5 – Opt for Personalized Approaches
If general cookie-cutter health and business plans haven’t been effective for you, consider a more personalized strategic approach. This might involve specific health tests to understand why you feel so sluggish or tailored coaching sessions that address your unique challenges.
