Goals
• What is a goal?
– Something you would
like to achieve.

• What is the purpose

of setting goals?
– Goals give you
direction and keep
you focused on
where you want to
end up.
 Types of Goals
• Short-Term:
– Goals that can be
accomplished in the
near future (within a
few weeks or months)

• Long-Term:
– Goals that are more
far-reaching and take
longer to achieve (a
year or more)
 Types of Goals
• Fixed:
– Goals with an
outcome that is
based on a specific
date/time

• Flexible:
– Goals that have an
outcome, but no
time limit
 Each Goal Must Be SMART
• Accomplishing goals takes
focus; what are the most
important goals that you will
accomplish in 2014
• Too many, and too big, goals
will bury you
• Too few, or too small, goals
will
not challenge you
• What is the perfect mix for
you
to insure your success?

about

day is relevant

month is relevant
– Redecorating your
office is not relevant to
business growth
– Wanting a new blue
BMW 328i Sedan is not
relevant, it is not a
goal, it is a reward for a
goal achieved
 SMART Means Time bound

bound
– Each goal needs an
exact date that you
plan on accomplishing
the goal
– Break down the goal
into attainable steps
along the way;
quarterly, monthly

know where you are
and are going
