Before you even start your journey to become successful, you need to set your goals first. You can’t go on a journey without a road map, correct?

The moment you set your goals, make sure you are creating SMART goals. These are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals. Specific and defined goals make them easier for you to really know what you want to attain. Measurable, so that you will know when you have achieved your goals. They must be attainable and feasible to achieve. They also need to be relevant to what you are doing and what you really want to have. And most importantly, they need to be time-bound. Having a target date gives you that extra push to work harder and gives a sense of urgency too.

Once you have done this, make sure to write down your goals and set out your action plan. See how you can achieve your goals and what are the necessary steps you need to take and tools you would need. Would you need help from colleagues and friends? It’s also nice to discuss your goals with other people so that they may help you improve on your goals.

No goal is ever achieved without a proper goal setting process. The more thought out goals you have, the more chances you will succeed. Sit down and take time on setting your goals. Define them and then make them happen!
