If you have trouble setting goals and achieving them, you need to read this post for the one tip that will change the way you go about setting goals.

It’s that time of year again and most companies and people are setting goals for 2015. For most people the most they can muster is a new year’s resolution but unfortunately that is not the same as a goal. Goal setting is a process.

Direction of Goals

It’s proven those who have written goals accomplish more than those who do not.

Every goal needs to be a SMART goal.

S-Specific: Don’t be vague! State exactly what you want to accomplish be as specific as you can.

M – Measurable: You need a method to demonstrate how you achieved the goal.

A – Achievable: You need to challenge yourself and stretch here but keep it within the realm of achievable (with a push) for yourself.

R – Relevant: How does the goal align itself with your overall vision and objectives. It shouldn’t be from left field.

T – Time Bond: Set a deadline.
