Goal Setting
Goals are the vehicle by which we measure the achievements of our lives. At this moment, we live with one of the following feelings:
1. Satisfaction of achievement
2. Lack of fulfillment
Are there more feelings that you have at this time? Of course! But, when you think the life that you desire and the life that you experience, the evidence proves whether or not you have accomplished your goals. Even if you have not set one goal in your life, there is a negative affect that floating along poses on your mind.
Where do you want to be in the important aspects of your business by the end of this year? How will you feel when you accomplish your goals? How will the accomplishment of your goals change your business and your life? To be sure, your goals must be S.M.A.R.T!
Specific – goals that are specific leave not room for ambiguity. You know exactly what will result from reaching this goal.
Measurable- clearly outline the steps that need to be taken. Include start and end dates. Also, include important milestones.
Achieveble – unreachable goals will put you in a state of inertia. You will lack the motivation and desire to accomplish them.
Realistic – means that you can outline the steps with real milestones and see the end in site.
Time sensitive – attach a date to any goal and it automatically fills you with a zest for life and getting things done!
There isn’t much more that needs to be said about goal setting other than this: know what you want, map out the step and get results!
