Realistic Consider the environment, trends, requirements, resources and other factors surrounding your goals. Avoid using words like, every, each, never, 100%, eliminate – the absolutes tend not to be realistic I will write 10,000 novels …. I will write 10 novels 100% of children walk 20 more minutes …. 50% of children will walk …..

Impact How much will your action impact the goal - obesity and healthy food policy – number who adopt and when will you see a change in the overall goal Build on what you are already doing, for example – you already doing health fairs, what can you do in addition to this that moves the needle? Use the health fair as a way to open up the door to adopting the healthy food policy Resources available Staff – if this new goal will take 3 more staff people to achieve, do you have the resources to do it? Partners – how can you tap into your partners resources
