Why Setting Smart Goals Correctly is Your Road Map to Success.
How smart goals can take you all the way to the bank.
You are in effect creating a success contract with yourself.
The actual process of writing out your goals sends a signal to your subconscious and the universe that you are ready to accept these things in your life.
1. Inspiration: is set into motion.
2. Creativity: ideas for will start to come to you.
3. Motivation: to act on your ideas.
4. Awareness: of opportunities that will bring you closer to reaching your smart goals.
5.Action: workshops or books that you previously ignored all of sudden have value.
Let’s start writing your smart goals!
If you really want to take your business to the place where you are making the big money, or making a difference with your products or service than you have to plan that type of goal. Let's get started and write your list!
I always say if you don’t know where you are going how will you know when you get there?
Most people don't realize the magic that happens when they put in writing what they want to happen in their lives.
The very first time I was introduced to goal setting I was amazed at how most of the things I wrote down I reached easily. The reason for that is when I put down on that piece of paper what I wanted to accomplish that created focus & clarity.
The best way to start is by setting at least ten career goals to accomplish within the one year. A five year bigger picture goal and smaller goals each morning.
I call it creating my day. Every success I ever had I planned. Nothing just accidentally happens. You have to stay focused and motivated and those two traits coupled with the smart goals technique is a combination for success.
Remember you can make anything you want to happen in this life so don't be afraid to really go for it.
There are five important elements to setting Smart Goals:
1. S SPECIFIC
Make sure you specify what your goals are. The clearer you are the more effective you will be with your goal setting.
2. M MEASURABLE
You want to be able to gauge how you’re doing over time.
3. A ACHIEVABLE
Make sure your goal is attainable. That doesn’t mean you can’t think big, it means make it something you can control.
4. R REALISTIC
This is something you know you can and will do. If you set your sights too high or give your self too much in a short time period you can get discouraged and quit altogether.
5. T TIME LIMIT
Now is the time to start. You want to take action right away. Set a Dead line that is reasonable to meet. This creates two important things. A sense of urgency and accountability. If there is no end date that is a wish set a deadline and now you have a smart goal.
Example of Smart Goals
1. Get a web site for your business by Aug 30th.
2. Write success plan for business by the Aug 10th.
3. Start looking for a Master Mind Group to keep focused & Accountable. Join one by Sept 15th.
4. Get business cards by Aug 30th.
5. Set up business account and checking account system by Sept 1st.

7. Get on social networking sites by Sept.15th Get 5 new Clients from that by Oct. 15th Meet & Connect with 2,000 by Oct.1st.
8. Set up home office by Aug. 1st.
9. First Year Income $100,000 hit by Oct.1st of next year.
10. Buy a new house by year two Dec. 1st.
11. Five Year Income Goal: $1,000,000.00
Setting "Smart Goals" sends the universe a message about what you’re desires are. That creates the energy necessary to make it happen.
Start your day going over your list and then breaking one goal down to smaller goals for that day. Make a check list so as you accomplish one you can mark it off the list.
It's imperative to have a blue print that you are following. It's the map to your future. Once you have your goals start with the first goal. Take it and write out a plan today for just that goal. Give yourself a dead line and after you have the plan for your first goal start right away.
Success Tip: It's best to start your day with your one goal action plan.
That means once you sit down to work don't open your e-mail. Don't get on a social networking site. Start your plan first. This way you are guaranteed to accomplish what you need to do today in order to accomplish that goal.
Keep track of your progress and make adjustments as needed. If you realize your trying to do too much just change the dead lines to allow for more time. Once you have accomplished the first goal then take the second one and write the plan for that goal and the process starts again until you reach all of your goals.
* Success Tip: Share your
smart goals
with your Master Mind Group,Coach or a business partner. This gives you the extra incentive & accountability you need in order to succeed.
I always start with the most important goals that will lead to a income result. That way if I don't finish my plan for that day I still feel great knowing I accomplished what I needed to.
