050: Already Ditched Your New Year's Resolutions? Try This Instead

Did you know that a quarter of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions after just one week? And after one month it increases again to 36%. So, by the time you are listening to this podcast over 1/3 of us have already abandoned our new year’s resolutions. 

So why do we keep setting New Year’s Resolutions? And, what can we do instead?

In this episode, I share another system to achieve your goals – the SMARTER goal framework. 

The SMARTER goal framework is built on a simple premise: how goals are written matters. To be most effective, every goal must meet seven criteria.

The SMART framework originally developed by GE in the 1980s has been transformed into the SMARTER system by Michael Hyatt. I’ll walk you through this framework, share examples, and provide you with a template to get started. 

If you’re creating new goals or already have some in mind – using the SMARTER system to write them down is the first step to achieving them! I am cheering for you to achieve your goals and I know that writing them down using the SMARTER system will give you a great head start.
