Achieve Your 202X Goals with EOS®

Let’s talk about New Year’s Resolutions (NYRs). Some people say they’ve given up on them, but honestly—didn’t you reflect on 2017 during the holidays and sketch out some goals for the New Year?

For businesses, NYRs often translate into things like revenue targets, profit goals, paying off credit lines, replacing underperformers, or launching a new product. But here’s the catch: without accountability, those “goals” are just wishes with no clear plan to succeed.

Why Resolutions Fail

Too often, business resolutions fall into one of these traps:

  • Overly Ambitious Goals – Unrealistic targets no one can achieve.
  • Overly Safe Goals – Conservative objectives that don’t require meaningful effort.

So, why not change things up this year? Set SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound—and make them real by committing to a process.

Turn Resolutions into Results with EOS

Forget the literal stone carving—you need the right tool. Enter the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS).

EOS transforms your goals into actionable results. Here’s how it works:

  1. Don’t set more or bigger goals than you can realistically achieve, but still push yourself to stretch and grow.
  2. Ensure each goal has clear personal ownership. No overlaps, no ambiguity.
  3. Work on your goals consistently. No last-minute “ifs,” “buts,” or “onlys.” Don’t let unexpected circumstances steal the rewards of your hard work and goal-setting.
  4. Identify potential issues that could derail your plans. Address each challenge as soon as it raises its ugly head to stay on track.
  5. Identify the daily actions needed to stay on track with your goals. You’ll have complete clarity at every step of the process.

Using tools like the Scoreboard Sketcher™ and Vision & Strategy Map™, you can reinforce accountability and direction. The Vision & Strategy Map helps align your team on a unified path toward achieving your resolutions, while the Scoreboard Sketcher visually tracks progress and ensures everyone stays engaged and on course.

With EOS, your business goals don’t just sit on paper—they become an integral part of your operations.
