Be honest: have you actually stopped for a moment and made yourself define your goals for the year? It's all about holding yourself accountable, but also being realistic! A well-defined set of goals will give you a clear sense of direction and help you stay focused and motivated throughout the year. Don't let them just live as some distant dream that you'll "start tomorrow." When you write them down, they become real.

Break your vision down into smaller, more manageable goals.
These should be specific, measurable, and achievable goals that will help you make progress towards your overall vision. Some examples might include writing a certain number of songs, booking a certain number of gigs, or increasing your social media following by a certain amount.
Create a plan of action.
Once you have your goals in place, you need a plan of action to achieve them. This should include specific tasks that you will complete each week or month, and a timeline for achieving each goal.
Identify potential obstacles.
What are the biggest challenges you'll face in achieving your goals? Identifying potential obstacles will help you come up with a plan to overcome them.
