S.M.A.R.T. Goals: Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant Timely

S.M.A.R.T. Goals: Specific A general goal would be, “Get in Shape.” But a related specific goal would be, “Join a health club and workout 3 days a week for the next 52 weeks.” A specific goal has a far greater chance of being accomplished because it has defined parameters and restraints.

S.M.A.R.T. Goals: Measurable There must be a logical system for measuring the progress of a goal. To determine if your goal is measurable, ask yourself questions like: How much time? How many total? How will I know when the goal be accomplished? Etc. When you measure your progress you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued efforts required to reach your goal.

S.M.A.R.T. Goals: Attainable To be attainable, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. In other words, the goal must be realistic. The big question here is: How can the goal be accomplished?

S.M.A.R.T. Goals: Relevant Relevance stresses the importance of choosing goals that matter. For example, an internet entrepreneur’s goal to “make 75 tuna sandwiches by 2 pm” may be smart, measurable, attainable and timely, but it lacks relevance to an entrepreneurs overarching objective of building a profitable online business.

S.M.A.R.T. Goals: Timely A goal must be grounded within a time frame, giving the goal a target date. A commitment to a deadline helps you focus your efforts on the completion of the goal on or before the due date. This part of the SMART goal criteria is intended to prevent goals from being taken over by daily distractions.
