The Goal Setting Report - Paul Smithson
Introduction
‘It’s a funny thing about life: if you refuse to accept
anything but the very best, you will often get it.’
— W. Somerset Maugham
Do you set goals for yourself?
Do you sit down and give careful thought to what you want to achieve over the coming weeks, months and years?
Do you make a point of writing down your goals and referring to them regularly?
If your answer to the three questions above is ‘no’ then you are missing out on one of the most important tools that almost all successful people use to succeed way beyond the levels of ordinary mortals.
Setting goals is so easy that it’s crazy not to set aside the small amount of time needed to sort out an appropriate plan of action.
In this short report I am going to show you how you can quickly and easily set effective goals that are guaranteed to help you achieve more than you could possibly have done otherwise.
We’ll start off by looking at several key concepts and then move onto a detailed, step-by-step action plan that will help you to focus in on the things you really want to achieve and create well-structured goals that will assist you in attaining the goals in the shortest possible time.
CONCEPT #1
If you want to REALLY succeed
you need Smart Goals
‘Our plans miscarry because they have no aim.
When a man does not know what harbour he
is making for, no wind is the right wind.’
— Lucius Seneca
If you’ve been to business school or read books on goalsetting you might be familiar with the acronym SMART, which stands for Specific, Measurable, Actionable or Attributable, Realistic, and Timed. Let me explain briefly what each letter of the SMART Goal formula entails.
S = Specific
Your goals mustn’t be vague. They must be as specific as they can be. For example, a goal to Be more successful in 2013
is too vague as it doesn’t define what success is. For one person success might be to pass their exams, for another it might be to retire from their job, and yet for another person it might be to earn over $75,000.
M = Measurable
As well as being specific, your goals should be measurable. If your goal is related to money you might set a goal to Earn over $100,000
