What is a SMART Goals
Posted by: | CommentsWhat is a SMART goal
A smart goal is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time base
Specific: I want a lot of money is not good goal, because it is not specific. A better goal would be I want a Million dollars, because it is specific
Measurable: I want to lose weight, is not measurable, a better goal would be I want to lose 10 pounds
Realistic: Is it really possible to drop 100 pounds in a day? If you lose too much weight at once, I would go see the doctor. Also people who do not have that much weight to lose will find it harder to lose weight compared to somebody who needs to lose 100 pounds.
Time Based: I want a million dollars or I want to lose 15 pounds is a great goal, but it needs a time. Otherwise you might lose that 15 pounds, in 30 years from now (while you gain another 30 pounds). You want to write 15 pounds in 6 months or something to that effect

Ford foundation study of goals
Posted by: | CommentsFord foundation study of Goals
The Ford foundation recently did a study of goals
They found that:
23 percent of the population does not have any idea what that want in life
67 percent of the population has broad idea of what they want, but does not have any plans to achieve that goal
10 percent of the population knows what they want, but only achieve their goals 50 percent of the time.
The top 3 percent knows what they want to achieve and achieve their goals 89 percent of the time. So what the difference between the 3 percent and the 10 percent.
The answer is the 3 percent has well written goals using the SMART formula

What Goals you want to Achieve
Posted by: | CommentsAre there any goals you want to achieve in your life? If you are reading this post I believe you want to to achieve your goals as effortless as possible. Learn how easy strategies can make your goal into a reality.
The first step is to brainstorm your goals by following the smart formula
The second step is to write your goals on a piece of paper. Make sure you post it, somewhere your can see what you want to accomplish, every single day. It could be on above your bed for that way you can see it, when your first wake up and right before you go to bed, or on the fridge (especially if you are trying to lose weight).
The third step is kind of optional, and that is to tell the world about your goals. This can be positive and negative at the same time. You would want to tell your closest friends about this: somebody who would not be ridicule you if you do not achieve it. Some people say “who can not do that” take this into consideration, especially if they have experience in that area, but it may not work for them, does not mean it would not work for you.
The fourth step and the most important step, is to take action every single day. If you do not take action, it is more of a wish than a goal. I wish I had a million dollars, but if I do nothing every day to move me into that goal, it more of a wish. You want to take massive and small action on your goals, every day. For example: If you are working out you can work out hard 3-4 times a week, and the other days you can go for a walk.
