In this episode, I breakdown how to use SMART Goals really work. A SMART Goal is a goal that is (S)pecific, (M)easurable, (A)ttainable, (R)elevant and (T)ime based. In other words, a goal that is very clear and easily understood. Learn why doing this careful planning at the beginning can save you lots of time and disappointment at a later stage.

 

A goal is a dream with a time-frame to it. Simply deciding by when you want to achieve something can be a good motivator.  It can prevent you from procrastinating because you know that you are working to a deadline. Understand how to be realistic but at the same time not limiting yourself based on what other people believe to be achievable or not.

This episode is just for you, if you want to set goals that are SMARTer and not Harder.
