144: How to Quickly Stress Test Your Interior Design Firm with Michele Williams

I have seen it before. We go through a goal setting process and then move forward without continually checking to see if the goal is truly attainable and realistic. Maybe you have heard of SMART goals: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound. Today we are going to talk about stress testing our goals to check for attainable and realistic.

Topics Mentioned: 

• SMART goals

• Stress test

• Attainable

• Realistic

Key Thoughts:

• Create a SMART goal.  Start with the goal you want to achieve. Write it down and make sure you have mentioned all 5 parts. Michele (02:20) 

• If we don’t ask the hard, tough questions early on, we will stumble later in putting the goal into practice. Michele (06:22) 

• When we are thinking about resources, one of the challenges is that we create a goal as if all the resources are already in place. Michele (06:47) 

• We must be focused on the commitment to do what it takes – and willing to actually do what it takes to get the outcome we desire. Michele (08:38)
