2020 was a tough year for goals. As March rolled around many of our goals went straight out the window. Let’s get back at it in 2021 even though we still have significant challenges in front of us both seen and yet to be discovered.
Over the past 20 years I have helped hundreds of people reach their goals be it personal, professional, or athletic. In doing so I have learned quite a bit. Often what I see are more of a wish or hope than a goal. One of biggest keys to being successful is to put serious time and effort into the creation of a real goal.
When creating your goal be sure to make it is SMART.
S – Specific and as Simple as possible
M – Measurable and Meaningful to you.
A – Action (you must do something to hit it) and Act as if now (model the behaviors of someone who has already accomplished this goal or if you cannot do that envision what you believe those behaviors are and take them on as your own).
R – Realistic and Relevant to you in the bigger picture.
T – Timed (when will it end) and Towards what you want (will accomplishing this move in the direction of your hopes and dreams)
Write your goal. Take the time to go through the SMART process and be sure to cover each of the 10 letters in smart. Then build your plan on what You need to do daily, weekly, monthly to reach goals.
It starts and ends with you. When You Believe in yourself it is amazing what you can accomplish.
