SMART

GOALS

Setting goals and creating a plan of action to achieve them is one of the most fundamental aspects of self-discovery and

business development. People need to realize their goals and how to achieve them so that they can get their business

of the ground. Today, you are going to think about some SMART goals that you have for yourself.

S – Specific M – Measurable A – Attainable R – Realistic T – Time bound

We also have SHORT TERM goals (anything that takes a week or less) and LONG TERM goals (anything that takes longer

than a week). Most of your SHORT TERM goals are “stepping stones” for your LONG TERM goals.

Assignment:

Step1 = you will set 15 goals for yourself.

You will divide up your goals into three groupings.

Academic Goals

Career Goals

Personal Goals The amount of goals under each type is your choice as long as you reach 15 goals total.

Step 2 = Identify three (3) things you could do to obtain these goals.

What do you have to do to achieve it?

What resources will you need?

Step 3 = Identify a time to achieve them by (due date).

A year will be sufficient for long term goals.

Be more specific for your short term goals.

“Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no

destination.”

Fitzhugh Dodson
