Your Five Effective Goal Setting Strategies


1. S.M.A.R.T

Ensure that you create SMART goals. Creating SMART goals gives your goals structure and trackability. SMART goals give you clear-cut objectives, with transparent milestones, and an estimate of your goals feasibility.


Specific - What exactly is your goal?

Measurable - How will you track your goal?

Attainable - Can this goal reasonably be accomplished?

Relevant - Does your goal align with your values and objectives?

Time-Bound - Do you have a realistic ambitious date to achieve your goal?


2. Say No

Say no to things that don’t align with your goals. Don’t let things distract you from achieving your goals, stick to actions that bring you value and align with your goals. Think of your goals as two points, you can either get there in a straight line or you can take the long way to get there...your choice.



3. Celebrate

Celebrate the small achievements! Give yourself credit, you are amazing for going for your goals. Celebrate the milestones and pat yourself on the back for staying on track with your goals.


4. Reevaluate

Create deadlines whether they be weekly or monthly to check how on track you are with your goals. Ask yourself if you are on track or if any adjustments need to be made. It is consistent work to stay in shape just like it is consistent work to stay on track.


5. Don’t Stop

Once you have achieved your goal DON’T stop. You’ll feel pride and energized when you achieve your goals, if you don’t set more goals you may feel lost and lack a touch of meaning in your life. To avoid feeling stagnant keep making your dreams reality!


Setting goals is not something that you will be good at naturally, it is something that must be learned and practiced overtime. You will make mistakes along the way but it is important that you learn from your mistakes and continue on your path to achieving all of your goals. Setting effective goals allows you to have control over your dreams. Leave your familiar comfort zone behind and embrace the new feeling of getting what you want.
