Part 2: SMART Goals
- Specific – Details that are specific, not general
- Measurable – Able to be measured to see if you’ve completed the goal
- Attainable – Something that is actually possible to do
- Realistic – Something that is not only possible, but realistic – for you
- Timely or Time Sensitive – There is an element of time to the goal
This is a quick overview of what I discuss in detail and with examples in the last portion of the show.
