S.M.A.R.T is indeed a powerful goal setting formula. It can be used to set goals for your career, business or personal aspirations.

I agree that the more speciﬁc you make your goal, the more likely you’ll identify with it – and the more likely you’ll achieve it!

The more measurable your goal is, the more likely you’ll be able to measure
your progress along the way. Measurements like the amount of weight lost,
revenue earned, number of clients gained, or any speciﬁc number that you
can tangibly count or assess with objective ﬁgures is a measurable goal.

Setting unattainable goals is an exercise in futility. When you set
attainable goals you ensure that you have adequate resources and
knowledge to achieve those goals.

Realistic goals are harder to articulate than you might think. Sometimes the
process of goal setting supports unrealistic goals, which can lead to
disappointment, failure, and the loss of your time and resources. So be
sure your goals are realistic for you, not someone else!

Goals need to be set within speciﬁc timeframes. Without timeframes,
there’s no sense of urgency, which can lead to procrastination and failure.

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers~

Mark

Very good examples! I totally agree, specially with the second example.

In my opinion SMART goals are very useful and we need to apply these principles when making goals that we really want to achieve.
