Why you need a revenue goal

 

  💢www.hobbytosmallbusiness.spotblog.com

 

 

Why you need a revenue goal

💥Directs your business strategy

💥Provides a goal to work towards

💥Helps with annual planning

💥Helps with pricing individual projects

-Let’s set your revenue goal…

 


 STEP 1

What is your current financial situation

-how much revenue did you make last year

-how many projects did you work on

-what were your expenses last year

Were you happy with this outcome

STEP 2

Set a revenue goal for the year

-your revenue goal should be made up of: your ideal take home pay+tx+expenses

-Take home pay: how much do you want to take home in pay after tax+ expenses are paid

-Tax

-Expenses

.add how much you spent last year+ a little bit more

-Add these together to get your revenue goal for the year

STEP 3

Break down your revenue goal into manageable segments

-Divide your annual revenue goal into manageable segment- e.g. a monthly target…

-If you choose monthly remember that your business is most likely seasonal so factor this into your calculations (December/January tend to be quiet months but March/April tend to be busier)

 


STEP 4

Set a strategy for hitting your monthly /quarterly revenue target

Example:

-your annual revenue target is 100 000$ (home pay+ your pay+tax+expenses)

-your quarterly target is 25 000$/quarter

-your average project cost last year was 10 000$/project

-this means you need 2.5 projects per quarter to hit your annual revenue target

-which is about one per month (taking into account seasonality)

 STEP 5

Laser focus your attention on lead generation

-using the numbers on previous slide you now know how many projects you need each month to hit your annual revenue target

-your monthly goal is now to work out how to get that number of clients

-this longer topic-but your guiding question should be:

’’What lead generation activities do I need to do EVERY DAY in order to bring in X paying clients per month”

 STEP 6

Regular monthly review:

-review your revenue and expenses every month track your progress

-I do this on the 1st of each month for the month that has just gone using my ‘’business reset and review template’’ in Notion

 


Setting a revenue goal will help you price your design projects (and give you a target to work towards every month). Let’s set yours for 2025!
