Business goals serve as the guiding force that propels a company toward its envisioned future. These objectives are the strategic markers that define what an organization aspires to achieve within a specific timeframe. Whether it's expanding market share, boosting profitability, enhancing customer satisfaction, or fostering innovation, business goals provide a roadmap for success. They are the crystallization of a company's mission and vision, translating aspirations into actionable plans.
We asked entrepreneurs about their business goals for 2025. Here are the responses:
#1- Expanding impact on TMJ and facial pain care
Jaw and face pain conditions affect 12% of the population, with a 4 to 1 female-to-male prevalence, severely impacting the quality of life. As CEO of Melbourne TMJ & Facial Pain Centre and Founder of The Goralsky Craniomandibular Method, my 2025 goal is to reach and assist more people suffering from poorly managed jaw (TMJ) and face pain conditions. To amplify our impact, I plan to develop a national course for allied health professionals, including Physiotherapists and Osteopaths. This course will better equip them to help the many sufferers of these debilitating conditions, expanding our reach and improving care nationwide.
