MAKE YOUR GOALS HAPPEN

This blog post is for people who are planning and working to achieve their goals whatever they may be and no matter how large they may be.

If there is any possibility of achieving your goal it must at a minimum have these 5 components. If any of these components are missing you haven't set a goal, you have a dream. If you strategically create your goal around these 5 S.M.A.R.T components outlined here you greatly improve your chances of achieving your goal no matter how large may be.

The primary key to setting a goal and achieving the goal is having a system. The best system I've discovered is commonly known as S.M.A.R.T. goals.

Specific - To increase the probability of achieving your goal you must be sure your goal is specific as possible.

Measurable - Establish a concrete way to track and measure your progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, and can quickly and easily make any necessary adjustments in meeting your goal within your time line. 


Actionable - When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them reality.

Realistic - First let me say that your goal does not have to be realistic for your current situation, education, or financial means. The goal must be realistic, as far as an objective which you are both willing and able to work towards.

Time Bound - All goals must be associated with a specific time frame. With no time frame tied to a goal there's no sense of urgency.

Setting and achieving a significant goal is one of the keys to a happy and prosperous life.
