S.M.A.R.T. Part 6: What They Don't Tell You...
Here's the final installment about S.M.A.R.T. goals:
 
We've spent a lot of time talking about what makes a good goal, but we're not finished yet.
 
Let's say you create a S.M.A.R.T. goal. You follow all the guidelines, and really do come up with something that's specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-based.
 
But what if you're not inspired?
 
Or what if your boss gives you a S.M.A.R.T. goal that you don't like or that you don't think you can do?
 
Or what if the way you're supposed to go about accomplishing the goals isn't efficient or even workable?
 
Or what if the goal isn't compatible with your morals or values?
 
What then?
 
Having a S.M.A.R.T. goal may give you all the power you need to go about accomplishing it, but I have to be honest: Statistics show that only about three percent of the population can get inspired enough about their goals to really take them on and accomplish them.
 
That's not a lot. If you're not in this group, though, don't despair. Simply by adding a few more distinctions, you can stay inspired to achieve your goals, no matter what.
 
Next week I'll begin to unveil a methodology you can use to keep taking ground, to remain inspired, and to feel accomplished all along the way.
 
Moreso, you'll actually be able to achieve what you want for yourself and for others. This is breakthrough goal accomplishment technology that you won't hear anywhere else.
 
Pretty exciting, huh? Don't miss next week, when we begin to take goalsetting to a whole different plane.

LAST WEEK'S HOMEWORK: Did you catch yourself being sloppy instead of being specific? Keep noticing and correct yourself from this point forward.

THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK: What do you think will make goalsetting more powerful?
 
Please take a minute and let me know how you're doing out there. How have these tips been helping you?
