Pulitzer-winning writer Katherine Anne Porter observed: “I am appalled at the aimlessness of most people’s lives. Fifty perent don’t pay any attention to where they are going; forty percent are undecided and will go in any direction. Only ten percent know what they want, and even all of them don’t go toward it.” …
Here’s six guidelines to help keep your goals on target.
Your objective must be:
- Written – You’ll achieve more in a shorter period of time if you write it down, just claim it! Today is the day… (fill in the blank here)
- Personal
- Specific
- Achievable – Please don’t just say…”I want to make alot of money!” Money doesn’t buy happiness. How much money do you need to generate each week or monthly to get you one step closer to your goal.
- Measurable
- Time-sensitive – What can you accomplish today, this week, this month, in one year, how about in five years? As you measure your goals it will create that momentum you need to keep pressin’ on.
Move out of your comfort zone. When you start to feel uncomfortable that means you are growing and on track to living your life by design!

Wishing YOU much success,
S.M.A.R.T. Goal setting:
S – Specific Set a Specific goal.
M – Measuring and Manage the details
A- Attention to detail in both short term and long term
R- Realistic, make sure it’s realistic. To say “I need my next 5 parties to be $1000 parties” may not be realistic. (Unless you’re Kim Krenkel!!)
T- Tried and True. What has worked in the past may, or may not work every time. “You may not need to reinvent the wheel, but you do have to change the tires once in a while”
Just my two pennies!
