Getting Past January: Set And Achieve Your Goals In 2006

By Kelley Robertson

A new year is now here and, if you are like most people, you want to improve your results this year. Use the techniques outlined in this article to achieve your targets.

Ensure Each Ff Your Goals Follows The SMART Concept: Specific, Motivational, Action-oriented, Relevant to your situation, and Time-bound.

For example, “I will increase my sales by 15% compared to last year.” Be as specific about your goal as possible. “I will start my own consulting firm by June 25th” is a lot stronger than “I want to go into business for myself.”

Challenging goals are motivating. Set goals that will push beyond what you usually think you can accomplish. And remember to set a deadline. A goal without a deadline is simply a dream. Attach a realistic yet challenging deadline for accomplishment and post this where you can review it regularly.
