Are you determined to make a new start in 2017 and kick off the year with goals of self-improvement? Here are some suggestions on goal setting to insure success with your ambitious plans:
Be Specific
Make your goals specific and well defined. A specific goal has a much better chance of being accomplished than does a general goal.
Make goals Measureable
Use concrete numbers in your goals to know if you are on-track or falling behind. How much? How many? What is at the finish line?
Make goals Realistic
Set goals you have a realistic chance of achieving. Make them realistic or relevant to your life’s reality.
Goals need be Time-bound
Have a deadline or completion date for achieving goals.
