SMART Goal Setting


Goal setting is very important to success. At least it is what those who been a successful person said so. It is easy to caught with lexicographical definition of goal, vision and mission. For me, goal is simply something you try to archived. And the goal must be written in clear manner. A goal that is not written and review frequently is simply a dream that could never be realized. A good goal should be included "SMART" concept which the acronym of Specify, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time activated. For example, in real estate investment, "to be rich by investing in real estate" is not a good goal, simply the context is too broad and ambiguous. A good example goal pertaining real estate investment could be "to invest in 2 rental single family property (specify) that provide 10% return of investment annually each (measurable & attainable) in X community area (specify) in a year (time activated and realistic)." A SMART goal can make us focus, and by stay on your lane, you be able to shorten the race.
