Break your goals into milestones. It is easier to track the progress of your goals if you break them into a smaller group of accomplishments, according to bestmanagementarticles.com.

Chart the various milestones on a large wall calendar. Include which overall goal the milestone is aiming toward, explain the milestone, and leave room to write what you have accomplished toward it.

Having your milestones charted on one large calendar can help you to visualize your progress, and can help you to compare where you are in completing your milestones compared to where you had hoped to be.

In a business journal, note daily the methods you used and how they succeeded or failed. Keeping this journal is critical to being able to analyze how you were able to meet your goals or why you failed to meet them in time. Be sure to daily measure your time in hours spent on each project.

Reach out to your customers with quarterly surveys to see how they perceive your progress, and compare your customers' perception to the results you were hoping to accomplish. Customer input can be very valuable to tracking goals: Your customers will ultimately determine your company's success or failure.

Re-evaluate your goals at every milestone to determine whether you have set realistic goals, or if you need to adjust your plans and rethink your milestones. It is better to allow your plans to evolve based on progress than to not adjust and risk having your plans fail.
