Some goals will be a given and things that you have to do in response to your business or industry needs.

To improve or change things within your business you need to focus on what your areas of influence are and what things are outside of your control and influence.

Consider what actions could be taken to make a different within your business. Think about your overall business vision and values also as your goals should be in alignment with these.

Your vision - Overall picture you have as to what you want your business to look like in the future. This ma the same or different to now.

Your values - Guiding principles of how you do things to achieve your overall vision and mission.

Your vision and values can help guide your decision making and hence your goals setting. Remember goals are a way of setting direction!

Some people dislike the term "goal setting" but really it is all about setting direction and being clear on what you want to achieve. It can provide you a path to follow and determine the actions you need to take.
