Hi guys!
In the time gap I’ve got between applying to prospected entrepreneurs I do some research. Research in gaining more knowledge. Knowledge how to come a little more structured in life cycle belongs. So my recent discovery I want to share with you, is the tool of setting goals the S.M.A.R.T. –way!
And here the explanation:
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Realistic
T = Tangible
Specific
To be specific you need to answer all ‘W’- questions. Like:
Who…
What…
Where…
When…
Which…
Why…
…???
(example of answer: “I will be a member of the gym “Holmes” and I will go at least three times a week for workout to get myself again into good shape!”)
Measurable
So that your goals will be measurable you need to break them down into small goals, or also called ‘Milestones’. Give those ‘Milestones’ a deadline. Now by reaching each milestone at the deadline you gave, insures you that you’re on track with your goals! If it’s measurable it’s also the next step…!
Attainable
Your goals are attainable if you develop the attitude, capability and the financial possibility to reach them. Master a plan with the milestones and get closer by reaching each one of them. The more milestones you fulfilled, the more you feel worthy to approach your final goal.
Realistic
The following seams maybe like a conflict, but it’s not! If you can imagine yourself how you work hard to fulfil it, you probably already set a realistic goal. No one else than you will decide if it’s possible or not. Compare it with your history! Is there any similar situation in the past, where you fulfilled something like that? Or which terms do you need to fulfil that you will reach your target? Those are the right questions and perspectives you need to see if it’s realistic or not.
Tangible
Any goal is tangible if you can take it with one of your senses; gusto, touch, odour, view or sense of hearing!
Finally one fact stays: A goal, which you can’t measure, isn’t a goal!
With my “seven-day-positive-thinking-test” I can congratulate me again for starting over on day one *grmpfhhhh-d’d’d’d’mmmmm*!!!
After two days without any negative thought (maybe I had different ones but I didn’t hold them up and immediate focused again on solutions), I had to realise my language isn’t ‘smart’ at all. I just watched soccer as my favoured team (not my favourite team!) received 30 second before end a goal from their enemy. Wowy… I never thought my mouth would open without thinking before… but in this situation I just had to yell out how st*p*d this team is. 30 second didn’t only decide their get on to the next round, it also decided my self-test.
So finally it’s today again set back on day one…
But I’m insured that won’t happen again within the next seven days – at least not like this! ;-)
Another decision I made is not longer to study how and get through a plan till to the last detail, I just got a direction and just trace it without any condition! Just do it! Just Nike!
