      <image:title>Business Blog - How to Create the Perfect Goal - Let’s see an example.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Let’s say growing revenue is my #1 goal this upcoming year. How would I go about creating a good goal to measure revenue? Step 1: I define what I wanted to measure: revenue. You could even further breakdown revenue in terms of products offered or sales channels like in-store vs. online (specific) Step 2: Let’s say I want to make $100,000 this year (measurable) Step 3: Critical checkpoint here. I always look at the past year or prior months to get a benchmark. If I only had revenue of $20,000 last year, I may want to re-evaluate my goal. Likewise, if I was at $105,000 in revenue, my goal may be too easy. (attainable) Note: If this is your first year in business, be careful. Setting a goal too high out of the gate can be dejecting so we recommend ramping each month upwards to grow your business over time and help you hit goals along the way. Step 4: Maybe profit is the number I really care about. If I measure revenue, I am missing half the story of cost. This is a good check to ensure you’re not missing anything (relevant) Step 5: Now that I’ve done my checks in step 3/4 to ensure I am measuring the correct goal, I need to put a deadline to it. The easiest way is to create a full year goal (time-based)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We recommend businesses, products, and events that meet a strict criteria: employees at Local Union personally recommend (no paid positive reviews here) and the businesses we support fit into more than one of the five categories: locally-owned or sourced, sustainable, diverse products and employees, unique experience is offered, and / or community + philanthropy focused. We do the research, so you don’t have to. Disclaimer: While we hope to get it right all the time, there may be companies, products, or events that mess up. This is outside of our control. It’s also possible we miss something big. We’ll remove the recommendation, as needed. If you know of product or company issues we should be aware of, please contact us.</image:caption>
