S.M.A.R.T Goal setting
Like many Life Coaches I often use the SMART goal setting technique with clients and in my experience its one that works. It's a simple technique and is an acronyn that stands for SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE, REALISTIC, and TIME FRAMED. What this means is that you need to set specific exact goals and not generalised goals. You can measure these goals so that you know when you've have achieved your goal. Achievable. Don't set goals that are obviously out of reach. Be realistic. Are you being honest with yourself? Time bound. Does your goal have a deadline?

Goal Setting is sooo very important! I am constantly reminding my team and revising my very own!
ReplyDeleteSuccessful people always set goals. It's important to review and evaluate these goals.
ReplyDeleteYes, goals are extremely important and pave a path to where we want to be especially when they've been SMARTened up as you explained. Spot on!
