SMART GOALS 3%Only 3% of
adults have clear, written, specific, measurable, time-bounded goals, and by every statistic, they accomplish ten times as much as people with no goals at all.
S SPECIFIC “Specific goals focus
people’s attention; Lacking a specific goal, employee attention may be dispersed across too many possible objectives” „I will increase the company's revenue by making 10 more sales a week“
M MEASURABLE “Goals should be
measurable so that you have tangible evidence that you have accomplished the goal.” „I will increase the company's revenue 20% by making 10 more sales a week“
A ACHIEVABLE A goal is
achievable if it's something that you know you can do. „I will increase the company's revenue 20% by making 10 more sales a week. Last quarter the increase was 15%, so it shouldn't be too hard“
R REALISTIC “If I could
reach the amazing goal of churning out 1,000 pizzas a day, it would not be relevant if I run a dry cleaning business.” „I will increase the company's revenue 20% by making 10 more sales a week. I will sell the software we are making. Last quarter the increase was 15%, so it shouldn't be too hard“
T TIME-BASED “Without deadlines, it's
easy to put goals off and leave them to die. As well as a deadline, it's a good idea to set some short-term milestones along the way to help you measure progress.” „I will increase the company's revenue 20% this quarter by making 10 more sales a week. I will sell the software we are making. Last quarter the increase was 15%, so it shouldn't be too hard”
SMART "Many people fail in
life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage, but simply because they have never organised their energies around a goal." - Elbert Hubbard
