Setting S.M.A.R.T. Goals

Goals are important in all aspects of life and business. Most of us set them. But too few of us ask if they’re the right goals.

Are they S.M.A.R.T. goals?

For that matter, most of us don’t know what SMART goals are, let alone how to set them. So what, exactly, are S.M.A.R.T goals?

S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

Knowing how to write them helps us set goals that are clear, attainable and meaningful.

This clarity of thought in our goal-setting helps provide the motivation and focus you need to be successful.
