Stinky Goals – Smart Goal Setting Tips

January 1st always brings out resolutions. Do you, like most people, make New Year’s Resolutions, but rarely keep them? Are you then left feeling discouraged, like you’re a failure because your good intentions flopped? If you’re tired of setting stinky goals that don’t work for you, try these smart goal setting tips.

Smart Goal Setting Tip => Be realistic. Set a goal that you know you can reach. If you are currently earning $30,000 per year, it probably wouldn’t be very realistic to set a goal to earn $200,000 this year. Setting realistic goals means setting yourself up for success.

Smart Goal Setting Tip => Be kind to yourself. Let’s be real here. You will have setbacks at some point. Life happens. So when you don’t reach one of your goals, or fall behind in your timeline, be kind to yourself. There’s no point in beating yourself up over it. Get up, dust yourself off, and try again.

Smart Goal Setting Tip => Be firm. Nobody’s going to stand over your shoulder with a cattle prod, poking you to keep moving forward. You are your own task master. When you start to procrastinate, remind yourself that you are responsible for making the most of your time and energy.

Smart Goal Setting Tip => Be consistent. The only way anyone ever accomplishes what they set out after is through consistency. As I stated earlier, you will no doubt have a few setbacks along the way. This is normal. However, you must remain consistent in your actions. A daily routine creates good habits that, over a period of time, are key to reaching your desired end result.
