Have you ever failed to achieve a goal that you set for yourself? We all have, right? Why is that? Is it because we're lazy? Or we didn't try hard enough? Well, of course not. What I see take place with folks - myself included - is that we lose sight of our goal...We get distracted with daily activities and it becomes hard to focus on what we're trying to accomplish.
But today...I am going to share with you a very Powerful Key that will Unlock the Goal-Setting Code and help maintain your focus on achievement. That's a pretty commanding statement but it's something that the top achievers do in every field. The Key I am going to disclose with you is called "The SMART Method" of Goal-Setting. It's really quite easy and all of these fundamentals should be in your goals. The SMART Method is to make your goals:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Relevant
- Timely
I'll give a quick example I think we can all associate with, which is weight loss. Rather than saying, "I need to lose some weight..." instead say, "I am going to lose 10 lbs. by X Date." If you take a look at that objective, it meets all of the above necessities.
- It's specific = lose 10 lbs.
- It's measurable = in this case the same...10 lbs.
- It's attainable = you're not losing 10 lbs. in the next week...it's an attainable time frame.
- It's relevant = it is a goal that's TRULY IMPORTANT TO ME
- It's timely = by X Date - a deadline
This is the target we should focus on, and by being SMART about it, the objective gives us something we can converge on and successfully accomplish. I challenge you to take a look at your goals and be sure they take account of all of these elements. Then, make sure you write them down and review them - regularly - so they're fresh in your thoughts every single day. This is how top achievers all over the world get to, and stay at the pinnacle of their game. And now you can too - now get after those goals!
