SMART Goal Setting For The New Year

This is a brief outline for setting SMART Goals for the New Year:
Goal Setting

Whatever goal(s) you decide to attain make sure you write it down and it contains ALL of the key indegrediants of the following "S.M.A.R.T." attributes, then you are well on you way to acheiving your goal:

S = Specific

M = Measurable

A = Achieveable, Attainable, Action-Oriented, Agreement (of those around you), Accountable (to others)

R = Realistic, Reliable, Rewarding, Results-Oriented

T = Time-Bound (Time-Constrained, Time-Limit), Time-Phased, Timely, Tangible.

(Regarding "time-bound": A goal without specific target dates is just wishful thinking.)

If your WRITTEN goal meets all 5 of these ingrediants and you actively work toward the goal with several mini-goals that are smaller steps oriented toward meeting the overall goal, you WILL succeed.

Wishing you a successful New Year!

Hi Lawrence!

A high-tech companion to the S.M.A.R.T. goal setting would be Symplifi by Topaz Software (http://www.topazsoftware.com/). Symplifi is a business planning, goal setting/tracking and CRM software all in one. You enter the amount of income you want to earn in 2007 and Symplifi tells you how many leads, clients and closings you need to achieve it. Every time you log in you can see how close you are to your goals, your appointments, your tasks, your conversion rates and your sales forecast...very motivating! I hope this helps.

Happy New Year!!

Gigi
