Setting smart goals

Well hello 2016. Does it feel like just yesterday you were making goals for 2015?

If you already have goals set for 2016 along with a plan to accomplish them, congratulations. If not, we have a goal setting refresher course for you:

• When setting goals make it an inspiring experience. Take some alone time (unless you’re making group goals) and watch a few inspirational videos or read some motivational quotes before you get started.
• Make sure your goals follow the SMART acronym guideline. Your goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and have a Timetable.
• Set different goals for different groups: personal goals, family goals and work goals. Make sure that goals for a large group are set together and agreed upon.
• Set short-term goals and long-term goals. Maybe some of last year’s long-term goals are still uncompleted. That’s OK, as long as they have a timetable.
• Make goals for different aspects of your life. Spiritual goals, physical and emotional goals are a few areas that can be improved to make yourself a more well-rounded person.
• Last but not least… Enjoy yourself and be positive! A new year only comes once every 365 days! Give us a call to find out how we can help you accomplish your goals. Happy New Year!
