Capitol City Group believe that for entrepreneurs, goal setting is an even more important skill to master as it will help them to produce the motivation needed to drive their ideas forward and achieve success. However Capitol City Group also believes that setting a goal isn't enough, and that entrepreneurs should also have a clear picture of how they plan on achieving their goals.

Entrepreneurs need to think about who they can turn to to make their goals easier to obtain, and look into the resources available to them. Achieving a goal is often a long journey that is littered with pitfalls, therefore it pays for an entrepreneur to have a support plan in place and prepare for the unexpected.

To help entrepreneurs achieve their goals Capitol City Group have revealed the four key questions entrepreneurs should ask themselves but often fail to during the process of goal setting.

Who do I know that might help me with this goal?

There is a reason why entrepreneurs are encouraged to network. Networking allows new business owners to meet with and develop relationships with other professionals which can help build up a bank of willing and helpful individuals who can provide much needed guidance and support.

Who do I need to know that I don't know yet?

It's important for entrepreneurs to recognize their weaknesses, so that they can work towards filling in the gaps within their capabilities. This will help entrepreneurs focus their networking so that they can widen their network and ensure they have all bases covered.

Who in my network might already know the people I would like to meet?

Asking those already in their network could also help an entrepreneur to find the missing links and resources needed to achieve their goals. Having a mutual and reliable connection will also help to develop a new entrepreneur to develop a strong professional reputation.

How can I help this person achieve his or her goals before I ask for help with mine?

Many successful business professionals are inundated with requests for help and advice so it's good to have something to offer in return.
