HOW SMART ARE YOUR GOALS?

One of the most popular methods for creating good goals is the SMART method. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Sensitive. Here are some key steps to keep in mind as you put the SMART method in place for your goals:

•MAKE YOUR GOALS SPECIFIC. Your goals are not just other random ideas floating around in your head. Your goals must be well defined and crystal clear. Create your goals with your ultimate summit—your dream—in mind.

•DEFINE YOUR MEASURES. Now that you’ve taken your goal out of your head and brought it closer to reality, how will you measure your success? Will it be getting new certifications over the next six months? Or will you increase your customer base for your side gig by 25 percent so that you can make this your full-time income within the next two years? Put your measures into real dates, times, and amounts so that you can quantify your goals. If you’re a person who needs some fire under you to keep going, ask a like-minded person to hold you accountable for your measures.

•AIM FOR THE ATTAINABLE . . . AND THEN STRETCH A LITTLE MORE. As you start out on your journey toward success, your goals should be attainable and should push you outside your comfort zone. For example, if you are in the process of courting investors to take your business to the next level, set up a conversation with that “big person” who you would never think would be interested in your business plan. He or she just may surprise you and get on board with an investment to knock your socks off, and you will surprise yourself by learning just how big you can be in the pursuit of your dream.

•GET REAL AND RELEVANT. There is nothing worse than having a goal that has you running in circles. Make your goals relevant to your finish line. If you are committed to launching your idea on social media, don’t waste your time posting and liking things on Facebook. Get your priorities straight and stay focused on goals that will keep you moving forward.

•TAILOR YOUR TIME. Your goals must have a deadline. When I started out as a comedian, there were certain goals I had each year for the kind of money that I wanted to make in the industry. Not that I was solely focused on the dollar amount, but having time-related benchmarks helped me to create better comedy sets, network with more people in the industry, and carve out a solid path for my future.
