Do you have a goal? Goal is the most important thing when you want to start any business. Without a goal, you might be at loss and at the end, you will suffer failure.
Yet, a goal must be a SMART goal. What is meant by SMART goal? This is what i read from some books. SMART is defined as the following:-
Specific: the goal must be specific enough. The goal must be able to guide you to the correct direction.
Measurable: it's good to have a measurable goal. For example, to earn $ xxx within x year will be considered a measurable goal.
Actionable: this is of course the most important element of a goal. If it's not actionable, why setting the goal?
Realistic: Do not try to guide yourself to a place which you do not think is achievable. Try to set a goal which is realistic to you.
Time-Based: Some people do not set a time-based goal. As a result of that, they start to procrastinate in doing anything. This is very normal for a human being. If something is not urgent, means they can do it LATER. Therefore, set a time limit for the goal. Try to determine what you want to achieve within a certain period of time.
Have some ideas how to set a goal? Is your goal SMART enough?
Share with me your idea for a better goal.
