Goals are part of every aspect of business/life and provide a sense of direction, motivation, a clear focus, and clarify importance. By setting goals, you are providing yourself with a target to aim for. A SMART goal is used to help guide goal setting.

SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Bound. Therefore, a SMART goal incorporates all of these criteria to help focus your efforts and increase the chances of achieving your goal.

SMART goals are:

  • Specific: Well defined, clear, and unambiguous
  • Measurable: With specific criteria that measure your progress toward the accomplishment of the goal
  • Achievable: Achievable and not impossible to achieve
  • Realistic: Within reach, realistic, and relevant to your life purpose
  • Time-Bound: With a clearly defined timeline, including a starting date and a target date. The purpose is to create urgency.
