Smart Goals Explained

Every year between Christmas and New Year I review my goals from that year and set my goals for the next year.

The SMART pneumonic is a common technique in business and is used to set goals and targets. However do we understand the technique as well as we should? To help you set your goals here is my interpretation of the SMART tool: S= Specific. Our unconscious mind needs to be clear on the goals that we're establishing. Keep it simpleM = Measurable and meaningful to you. Something you have a passion for and you need to be able to measure or identify the last thing that has to happen for you to achieve your goal – see, hear and feel your goalA= Act now.

You need your goals to be established in the present tense. For example: I work, I eat, I sleep= Create goals for the different parts of your life e. g. finance, relationships, travel, etc= Achievable – if you have any limiting beliefs you need to get rid of themR= Realistic. Are you able to achieve these goals? = Responsible (and ecological).

Is there a positive benefit for you, the planet and others around you? T = Timed; you need to say the day, date and year= Towards your goal.

Your statements should be positive and visualise success e. g. : “It's (future date) and I have saved x. . . “So now you need to act! And success will not come easily. Stay focused and do not fail by thinking success is a foregone conclusion.

It isn't.

It takes a lot of hard work.

I write my goals down and for the first month or so and use this to help me visualise success.

Your conscious and unconscious minds work differently. Goals that engage both will help you on your way to success. Good luck, be SMART.
