Setting SMART Goals For The New Year
Jan
Setting goals is the first step toward achieving your dreams. This tool will teach you how to effectively set goals that are SMART—meaning: (S)pecific, (M)easurable, (A)chievable, (R)elevant, and (T)ime-bound.
SMART goals provide an easy-to-follow structure for creating goals. This will help you really breakdown what you want into a format that makes it simpler to plan for, track and finally achieve your goals.
To create goals, first think about your values. When your goals match up with the values that are important to you and your business, you’re more likely to prioritize achieving them.
If you’re not sure what your goals are, think about what you want to change in your business.
It’s likely that you have many things that you want to achieve. If you can focus on one or two priorities that align with your values, you will have a better chance of reaching that goal.
Here is what you do:
- List your values to help you think about what is important to you and your business.
- Brainstorm a list of priorities and goals. Goals are specific things you can achieve to help you reach your final objectives.
- Create a SMART goal from one or two items on your list of goals. Write down what makes this goal specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
- After you have written down your SMART goal, take a look at “Putting goals into action” tool to create an easy-to-follow plan for achieving goals.
