If you really want to make your business or life happen, get some paper and let’s start writing your smart goals. I always say if you don’t know where you are going how will you know when you get there? You want to create between three and ten career goals to accomplish within the next six months. Remember you make anything you want to happen in this life so be afraid to really go for it.

There are five important elements:

1. S SPECIFIC

Make sure you specify what your goals are. The clearer you are the more effective you will be with your goal setting.

2. M MEASURABLE
You want to be able to gauge how you’re doing over time.

3. AACHIEVABLE
Make sure your goal is attainable. That doesn’t mean you can’t think big but keep it to something you will achieve and then you can re-set the next goal even higher.

4. RREALISITC
This is something you know you can and will do. If you set your sights too high you can get discouraged and quite before you even begin.

5. TTIME LIMIT
Now is the time to start. You want to take action right away. Set a limit so you know what you’re aiming for.

Examples of Smart Goals

1. Get a web site for your business by end of month.

2. Write success plan for business by the end of next week.

3. Start looking for a support group to keep you focused. Join one by end of the month.

4. Have my first client by week six.

5. Set up business account and checking account system by week five.

6. Join Networking group by week six.

7. Get on social networking sites by week seven.

Having goals attracts into the universe what you’re desire are. That creates the energy necessary to make it happen. Look at your smart goals every day. Make a check list and track how you are doing. Don’t be afraid to take risks and really go after what you want.
