Hey Sis, it’s January, and I know you’ve got big dreams for your coaching ministry this year. But here’s the truth: dreams don’t work unless you do. And doing the work? That starts with a plan.
No more random goals that lead to burnout or procrastination. This year, we’re making faith-aligned moves that honor God’s purpose for your life and business. In this post, I’m walking you through how to set goals that align with your calling, break them into actionable steps, and stay consistent all year long.
Grab your notebook, your iced coffee, and let’s get to work!
Align Your Goals with Your Calling
Setting goals is exciting, but if they’re not aligned with God’s purpose, they can feel overwhelming and unfulfilling. God didn’t call you to just anything. He called you to something specific that aligns with your gifts, experiences, and the people you’re meant to serve.
When your goals reflect your calling, you’ll notice a shift. You’ll feel focused, motivated, and at peace because you’re not just working hard—you’re working with purpose.
Steps to Align Your Goals:
Pray and Reflect
Start with prayer. Ask God what He wants for your business this year—not what you think you should do, but what He’s leading you toward.Define Your ‘Why’
Get clear on why this coaching ministry is on your heart. What’s the impact you’re called to make? Your ‘why’ will keep you grounded when things get tough.Filter Your Goals Through Faith
Ask yourself: Do these goals honor God? Are they rooted in obedience and trust? Success in the Kingdom isn’t about perfection—it’s about faithfulness.
Set Practical Goals
Vague goals will leave you spinning your wheels. Instead of saying, “I want to grow my business,” define what growth looks like for you. Is it booking five clients? Launching a program? Reaching a specific income goal? Goals that are specific, measurable, and actionable will move you forward.
Steps to Set Goals That Work:
Break It Down
Big goals can feel overwhelming, so break them into smaller pieces. If your goal is to book 10 clients this year, break it down by quarter or month. Then ask, “What steps do I need to take to make this happen?”Example:
- Finalize your coaching offer.
- Set up your discovery call process.
- Post about your ministry on social media weekly.
Focus on Impact
Instead of focusing only on numbers, tie your goals to the impact you want to make. This shift keeps you motivated because it’s not just about you—it’s about who you’re helping.Create Milestones
Set checkpoints to track progress and celebrate wins. Progress is progress, even if it’s small.
Plan Your Year with Faith
Planning isn’t just about staying organized—it’s about showing God you’re ready to steward the vision He’s given you. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
Steps to Create a Faith-Based Plan:
Map Out Your Year
Identify your key goals and create a timeline for when you want to achieve them. Make it visual with a planner or calendar, and add buffer time to avoid overwhelm.Plan for Rest
Rest isn’t optional, Sis. Schedule regular breaks to recharge and spend time with God. Burnout doesn’t honor your calling—rest does.Stay Flexible
Leave room for God to redirect you. If something doesn’t go as planned, trust that He’s leading you toward something better.
Stay Consistent All Year Long
Let’s be real—it’s easy to start strong in January and lose steam by March. Consistency isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up every day, even when it’s messy.
Tips for Staying on Track:
Find Accountability
Share your goals with a friend, coach, or mentor who can support you and keep you accountable.Revisit Your ‘Why’
On tough days, remind yourself why you started. Keep your ‘why’ visible to stay motivated.Celebrate Wins
Every small step forward is a win. Whether it’s booking your first client or simply showing up today, celebrate your progress.
