It has become a tradition for us to help ODs create and stick to a few resolutions for the new year that align with the industry changes and patient experience. Of course, we've learned from 2020 that the year can be unpredictable, so how do you go about making goals for the year?

With the promise of vaccinations bringing relief and hope to practices, we think it's better to set intentions for the year rather than hard and fast measurable goals. If you're curious to see what we think practices will be focusing on in 2021, please keep reading.

Goal setting in your eyecare practice is an integral part of making improvements and tracking your progress over time. How many times have you set goals or resolutions, but right after you write them down you forget about it and don't put in more than a week's worth of effort towards achieving them? It happens to everyone. 

Today we want to walk you through a few steps that are important in order to set realistic, attainable, and motivating goals for your practice. We're not going to let you put your goals on a post it note, filed away in your desk drawer to forget about!

Earlier we made a list of eyecare companies that were promoting innovation in our field. Now, we'll highlight some companies that stepped up their optimization in a year where everyone had to work quickly to find solutions to new obstacles.

These companies span different parts of the eyecare practice experience, but all of them focus on the common goal of providing the best patient care possible.

See who we picked and let us know if you think any other companies should be added to the list in the comment section below.

Every business should be working towards some type of goal. Goals help motivate your team and help you measure and monitor success on different initiatives in your practice. But, it's also something that's easy to push to the wayside when you're all busy managing a practice and taking care of patients day in and day out.

Today we want to share with you some of the reasons you should prioritize setting goals before the new year and then share a quick way for you to narrow down goals for yourself, your practice, or your team.
