S.M.A.R.T

🔺Your goal must be clear and well definied. Make it as easy as you can get where you want to go by defining precisely where you want to end up. You need goals to show you the way.
📏MEASURABLE GOALS📏
🔺Your goals can measure your degree of success include precise amounts, dates and so on. Without a way to measure your success ,you will miss out on the celebration that comes without knowing you have actually achieved something.
💪ATTAINABLE GOALS💪
🔺If you set a goal that you have no hope of achieving, you will only demoralise yourself and erode your confidence. So, make sure it’s possible to achieve the goals you set.
🔺Goals should be relevant to the direction you want your life and career to take. By keeping goals aligned with this, you will develop the focus you need to get ahead and inconsistent goals, and you will fritter your time and your life away.
⏰TIME-BOUND GOALS⏰
🔺Your goals must have a deadline. This means that you know when you can celebrate success. When you are working on a deadline ,your sense of urgency increases and achievement will come that much quicker.
TYPES OF GOALS
