What Is a SMART goal and why it Matters?
Going with the flow is great, yet when it comes to your business, bucket list, health, money, it’s key to think strategically about how to achieve everything that you want to.
You don’t have to wait for January 1st to roll around to set goals. Starting today is the best day to start.
Knowing what you want to achieve is an achievement in and of itself, but to get there, you need to take action. How do you know what action to take? Structure, structure, structure.
So, What Is a SMART goal?
With SMART goals, you set a clear timeline for achieving the goal, as well as milestones that make it easier to track your progress as you tackle a longer term goal. If you commit to the SMART method, you’ll create an actionable plan that will help you eliminate the guesswork that so often slows us down as we execute on our goals.
Check In on Your Goals
Whether it is monthly, quarterly or another timeframe, make sure to check in on your goals regularly to make small changes and pivot if necessary.
Always remember not to be so hard on yourself. Whether your goal is to increase X amount of web visitors or reach X number of clients per month, as they say, “Rome wasn’t built in one day”.
Expect to hit some roadblocks along the way. Resiliency is key here. Be prepared to take a hit and bounce back up. And better yet, when you “fail”, you’re actually making progress.
