Achieving SMART Goals

Setting goals is easy but achieving them is not. That's why setting "SMART" goals - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely - is the first step in making your goal a reality.

Make your goal as Specific as possible and express it in positive terms. Do you want to stop losing money or do you want to start making money?  How much money do you want to make?

How do you Measure success?  You'll need a way to evaluate your progress and determine if you're moving towards your goal.  For example, if you want to improve your finances, then you should have a way of keeping track of income and expenses.

Is your goal Achievable?  Consider whether you have the resources necessary to achieve your goal.  If not, you need to determine if you can assemble everything required to streamline your process.  Remove any obstacles before you get started!

Realistic goals are achievable goals, unrealistic goals are just dreams.  It's not necessary to be negative but take time to honestly evaluate whether you're being realistic.  Losing 10 Kilos in 2 weeks is not impossible but it's not very likely and certainly not healthy.

Make your goal Timely by stating a due date for your goal AND the action steps involved in achieving it.

The constant setting and achievement of goals is a critical element of success. Creating the Edge establish a goal driven culture within your business, turning goals into actions and actions into profits.
