SMART Goals Template
SMART goal setting is very popular in the business arena, and helps a person
focus more on what it is they wish to achieve because the person defines the
goal in more detail. Before I give you the working template let me first explain or
recap on SMART goals.
Now instead of someone saying I want to loose weight they can using the
SMART method change their goal to read:
“I want to loose 2 stone, in 4 months time and fit into a size 34 waist pair of
trousers. I will exercise two evenings a week in the gym from 7 – 9. I can achieve
this as I have lost weight in this way before.”
This goal is now more realistic, as the person has set out a specific amount of
weight to loose, it is measurable and realistic and a time frame has been set. It is
now:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Timed

How Will I know when I have got it (Measurable, include dates, time, places etc)
How do you know you are capable of reaching this goal? (Achievable – give
evidence to back it up)
How realistic is this goal? (Is it actually realistic to set it, i.e. am I setting the right
time frame, the right measurement etc)
How long will it take me to reach this goal? What time limit am I giving it?
