Guide on how to set SMART goals

SMART goals were initially created for companies, more specifically for those in leadership positions and corporate management. But this framework is now being used extensively by students to achieve their academic goals. It’s no wonder why.

SMART goals have a high success rate if used right. So why do we need to set goals? The main reason we set goals is to feel like we are working toward something which makes us feel fulfilled.

According to Tony Robbins – author of Unleashing the Giant Within – “The outcomes you want ultimately point to the quality of the objectives you’re setting for yourself.”

Sometimes we fail to reach our goals, and that’s okay. Instead of seeing it as a fail, rather think of it as a learning process. But if you find that you’re consistently failing at reaching your goals then you have to start questioning your process or the lack thereof.

Tony Robbins is an avid user and preacher of SMART goals. It works. I used it throughout my studies, and even now with building a brand and starting my own business. So, here’s the guide on how to set SMART goals and achieve them!

SMART goals are Specific

You have to be specific with setting your goal(s). Setting a number to track your progress against is crucial. Make the following adjustments to your goals:

  • Change I want to earn more to I want to earn $150 000 per annum
  • Change I want to lose weight to I want to lose 20 pounds
  • Change I want to achieve an A overall to I’d like to achieve an A for Bio and Math

Making your goals more specific will help you to visualize the outcome. No matter how vague your original goal was, you’ll achieve it regardless. But breaking them down and being more specific will put you in a better position to take the necessary steps in achieving them.

Taking example 3 for instance: by putting the necessary steps in place to achieve an A for 2 subjects, you’ll be able to replicate those steps for other subjects as well if you feel confident enough.

But by stating you want an A overall might be overwhelming and you’ll be placing too much pressure on yourself. This in turn will lead to a higher rate of failure.

SMART goals are Measurable

You have to be able to track your progress, how else will you know if you’re putting in enough effort in achieving your goal? If it’s not measurable, you can’t say with all honesty that you’ve achieved your goal.

Anyone can earn more. $2 More is ultimately more than you had last month. Does that make it a win? Measuring or tracking your goal is something you can use as a visual. Seeing the number on the scale go down, watching the number in the bank go up and going from a C+ to B are small steps to getting closer to your main goal.

SMART goals are Achievable

Look at what’s possible for you given your current skill level and the resources available to you. This step and the next, Realistic, go hand in hand.

If you’ve received a D for everything last semester then aiming for an A this semester might be a little unrealistic. Make it more attainable by trying for a C+.

Look what is within your reach and be realistic about your goals otherwise you’ll just be setting yourself up for failure.

Start slightly smaller and once you’ve achieved those smaller goals you can increase them. This will give you confidence rather than overwhelmed.

SMART goals are Realistic

Some call them realistic while others like to think of them as Relevant. According to Robbins realistic goals are the ones you are willing to work toward by making changes to your daily habits.

According to Jay Abraham, a business guru, you have to be aware of what you’re trying to achieve, why and what your skill sets are. Your goals will only be meaningful if based on your current reality.

If you’re trying to lose weight, what are you doing to achieve that? Are you pushing your sales for this month to achieve a higher income to reach your monetary goals? Ensure that your goal is something you have the time and energy for.

SMART goals are Time-Bound

Finally, your goals have to be given a time frame. You have to give yourself a reasonable amount of time to reach your goal.

This goes hand in hand with Measurement. Checking in every now and then to see where you are and how far you’ve come is essential to accomplishing your goals.

Stating you want to earn $1M by the end of next year while only making $40 000 a year is also unrealistic. No one is saying that it can’t be done, but you’d have to adjust your timeline.

An Example of SMART Goals in Action

Conclusion

Setting specific, realistic goals that are attainable within a certain time frame is important for reaching success and keeping it. There is one more thing I always like to do as well and that’s to learn.

Learn from your mistakes and check in on what worked and what didn’t. The right time to do this is when you’re making use of the Measurable. Reflect on where you are and how far you’ve come. This can be a great motivator to keep going.

If you found that something worked well, look for ways you can improve on that. Always keep a growth mindset, or as I like to call it a continuous improvement mindset. Make notes along the way to use for future goals that are even bigger and more daunting.

And finally, don’t give up. You can do anything you put your mind to.

  19. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and
    gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely
    off topic but I had to tell someone!

  24. Lots of people get off and find pleasure in naked bodies than with lingerie or clothing.

    Another factor is usually vulnerability-a naked
    woman senses embarrassment and humiliation in a foreplay which is why it really is searched for.
    When someone is without a doubt naked, they experience revealed and susceptible, nude sex feels more seductive than clothed one.
    Vulnerability is a major turn on specifically for plenty of men because they feel the feeling of dominance during sex.
    Plenty of nude porn are usually visual in its content material furthermore,
    given that they emphasize the nakedness from the stars they zoom in to private parts
    frequently concealed such as the tits and the pussy, plenty of nude porn concentrate
    on penetration. Nude porn will be fairly regular as well as the genre can be seen by you attached to a whole
    bunch of various other classes, therefore you will not think
    it is tough to locate your narrative of interest when eating this porn. Some of these are bondage porn,
    since intercourse is meant to be a sacred ritual, viewing a naked
    lady get fucked is an excellent fap materials for a lot of males.
    Seeing an individual naked is like knowing their strategies and seeing them defenseless for a few, this is the reason why nude porn is a well-known genre among all viewers.

  25. I truly love your blog.. Great colors & theme.
