3. You could say that the whole human endeavor is geared towards
setting and achieving goals
Goals are part of every aspect of life: how you conduct your
relationships, what you want to achieve at work, the way you use
your spare time
Everything comes down to priorities, and what you would like to
accomplish in every aspect – whether you make a conscious choice
or go with subconscious preferences
With setting goals or objectives, life becomes a series of chaotic
happenings you don't control
You become the plaything of coincidence
Accomplishments like sending someone to the moon, inventing
the iPod etcetera are the result of a goal that was set at some point
A vision that was charted and realized

5. SMART goal setting brings structure and traceability into your goals and
objectives
Instead of vague resolutions, SMART goal setting creates verifiable
trajectories towards a certain objective, with clear milestones and an
estimation of the goal's attainability
Every goal or objective, from intermediary step to overarching objective,
can be made S.M.A.R.T. and as such, brought closer to reality
In corporate life, SMART goal setting is one of the most effective and yet
least used tools for achieving goals
Once you've charted to outlines of your project, it's time to set specific
intermediary goals
With the SMART checklist, you can evaluate your objectives
SMART goal setting also creates transparency throughout the company
It clarifies the way goals came into existence, and the criteria their
realization will conform to
10. What exactly do you want to achieve?
The more specific your description, the bigger
the chance you'll get exactly that S.M.A.R.T.
Goal setting clarifies the difference between 'I
want to be a millionaire' and 'I want to make
€50.000 a month for the next ten years by
creating a new software product'.
11. What exactly do I want to achieve?
Where?
How?
When?
With whom?
What are the conditions and limitations?
Why exactly do I want to reach this goal?
What are possible alternative ways of achieving
the same?
12.
13. Measurable goals means that you identify exactly what
it is you will see, hear and feel when you reach your
goal
It means breaking your goal down into measurable
elements
You'll need concrete evidence
Being happier is not evidence; not smoking anymore
because you adhere to a healthy lifestyle where you eat
vegetables twice a day and fat only once a week, is
Measurable goals can go a long way in refining what
exactly it is that you want, too
Defining the physical manifestations of your goal or
objective makes it clearer, and easier to reach
14.
15. Is your goal attainable? That means investigating
whether the goal really is acceptable to you. You weigh
the effort, time and other costs your goal will take
against the profits and the other obligations and
priorities you have in life
If you don't have the time, money or talent to reach a
certain goal you'll certainly fail and be miserable. That
doesn't mean that you can't take something that seems
impossible and make it happen by planning smartly
and going for it!
There's nothing wrong with shooting for the stars; if
you aim to make your department twice as efficient
this year as it was last year with no extra labor
involved, how bad is it when you only reach 1,8 times?
Not too bad
16.
17. Is reaching your goal relevant to you? Do you actually
want to run a multinational, be famous, have three
children and a busy job? You decide for yourself
whether you have the personality for it, or your team
has the bandwidth
If you're lacking certain skills, you can plan trainings. If
you lack certain resources, you can look for ways of
getting them
The main questions, why do you want to reach this
goal? What is the objective behind the goal, and will
this goal really achieve that?
You could think that having a bigger team will make it
perform well, but will it really?
18.
19. Time is money! Make a tentative plan of everything
you do. Everybody knows that deadlines are what
makes most people switch to action. So install
deadlines, for yourself and your team, and go after
them
Keep the timeline realistic and flexible, that way you
can keep morale high
Being too stringent on the timely aspect of your goal
setting can have the perverse effect of making the
learning path of achieving your goals and objectives
into a hellish race against time – which is most likely
not how you want to achieve anything

31. Another thing that's very important when
setting SMART goals, is formulating it
POSITIVELY
Remember that what you focus on, increases.
So when you focus on NOT doing something,
all you think about is that thing. And it will
increase. So don't 'stop procrastinating', but
'achieve a daily discipline'
32. Setting goals in each area of life will ensure a more
balanced life as you begin to examine and change the
fundamentals of everyday living. Setting goals in each
area of live also helps in eliminating the non-integrated
thinking we talked about in the 2nd step
Family and Home
Financial and Career
Spiritual and Ethical
Physical and Health
Social and Cultural
Mental and Educational
33.

35. Work for what you want, not for what you want to
leave behind. Part of the reason why we write down
and examine our goals is to create a set of
instructions for our subconscious mind to carry out
Your subconscious mind is a very efficient tool, it
cannot determine right from wrong and it does not
judge. It’s only function is to carry out its
instructions. The more positive instructions you give
it, the more positive results you will get
Thinking positively in everyday life will also help in
your growth as a human being. Don’t limit it to goal
setting
36. Instead of writing “A new home,” write “A 4,000 square foot
contemporary with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and a view of the
mountain on 20 acres of land
Once again we are giving the subconscious mind a detailed set
of instructions to work on. The more information you give it,
the more clearer the final outcome becomes. The more precise
the outcome, the more efficient the subconscious mind can
become
Can you close your eyes and visualize the home I described
above? Walk around the house. Stand on the porch off the
master bedroom and see the fog lifting off the mountain. Look
down at the garden full of tomatoes, green beans and
cucumbers. And off to the right is the other garden full of a
mums, carnations and roses. Can you see it? So can your
subconscious mind
37. Shoot for the moon; if you miss you’ll still be in the stars.
Earlier I talked about my umpiring goals and how
making it to the top level of college umpiring did not mix
with my values
Some of you might be saying that I’m not setting my
goals high enough. Not so. I still have very high goals for
my umpiring career at the youth level. My ultimate goal
is to be chosen to umpire a Babe Ruth World Series and to
do so as a crew chief. If I never make it, everything I do to
reach that goal will make me a better umpire and a better
person. If I make it, but don’t go as a crew chief, then I am
still among the top youth umpires in the nation. Shoot for
the moon!
38. Writing down your goals creates the roadmap to your
success. Although just the act of writing them down can
set the process in motion, it is also extremely important to
review your goals frequently. Remember, the more
focused you are on your goals the more likely you are to
accomplish them
Sometimes we realize we have to revise a goal as
circumstances and other goals change, much like I did
with my umpiring. If you need to change a goal do not
consider it a failure, consider it a victory as you had the
insight to realize something was different
