Get Set for 2018
January is filled with everyone making their New Year’s resolutions, which have become very cliché. Resolution is the word that best describes what we do when we set our minds to accomplish a goal. Identifying what we want to achieve (set/define the goal), committing to do what it takes to accomplish the goal (plan) and executing the goal (action).
In reality we should be talking about our goals and continuously monitoring and refining them to stay on track. A goal is a resolution to achieve a desired result and provide a clear understanding of what the center is striving to achieve or accomplish. Successful centers set goals. Without goals, the center has nothing to strive for and no defined purpose, which often results in business becoming stagnant.
Things to consider when setting goals:
- Goals should be realistic and quantifiable.
- Put goals in writing with a specific plan outlined to attain them.
- Modify goals along the way, if necessary but don’t abandon them unless absolutely necessary.
- Monitor goals and keep track of statistics by analyzing Conqueror reports
- Set goals for individuals, departments or the center as a whole. For example, more party bookings, less machine stops, etc.
- Consider positing the individual or department goals, as this often results in helping build a “one team” mentality.
- Goal setting should be an ongoing process and part of your business plan in good times and bad times.
- Small goals can have a big impact.
One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to become healthier or to get fit. Is your center taking advantage of the thousands of people who have set this as their 2018 New Year’s resolution? Bowling is a great way to get fit!
