Do it SMART: Goal Setting Part 2Episode 20!!To make sure your goals are clear and reachable, each one should be: Specific (simple, sensible, significant).Measurable (meaningful, motivating).Achievable (agreed, attainable).Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based).Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive).Its criteria are commonly attributed to Peter Drucker's Management by Objectives concept. The first known use of the term occurs in the November 1981 issue of Management Review by George T. Doran. Since then, Professor Robert S. Rubin (Saint Louis University) wrote about SMART in an article for The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology. 1. Specific: What do you want? What’s is your why behind wanting it? You should try to answer what, why, who, where and which in your “S”2. Measureable: How much? How Many? Why can you tell when you are done? This should be something that you have control over.3. Achievable: Should be something realistic and attainable. It can be a big ass goal, but you need to know that you can do it! Don’t put things that you can’t control in your goals, like a particular position that might not be available, then you can’t meet your goal.4. Relevant: Something that really matters to you, something that you aren’t willing to let go of. Something worthwhile, at the right time that you can do.5. Timebound: When? By when? Set a date.SMART goals help you set clear goals that can help motivate you to move forward. SMART goals are easy to understand and utilize. WRITE them down!! Is you declare your goal, you are 65% more likely to meet them, also if you have an accountability buddy, those chances increase to 95% according to Gallop.Quote of the day: “Surround yourself with people who remind you more of your future than your past” Dan Sullivan.Is this what you want? Why do you want it? Why are you waiting? What can you do to get started in the next 7 days? What would happen if you fail? What would happen if you succeed?Other thoughts: Spend the time to track your progress. Action items:Start by listening to “Why tho” Figure out your core values to help guide a solid goal.Start brainstorming a list of what you want. A question I read earlier this year from the Rhythm of Life by Matthew… was what do you want from life? I have spent the whole year trying to figure that out!Work on some SMART goals. If you would like any feedback, let us know!Philippians 3:13-14 ESVBrothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
