Creating Attainable Goals - Creating SMART Goals

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Thank you so much for joining me again!

Happy Wednesday!

This week's theme for the podcast is: Creating SMART Goals

The concept of SMART goals was created originally by George T. Doran in 1981. He was a consultant that wrote down the acronym for an article talking about management goals.

This week I want to break down each step of the formula & what you need to know to create the best goals ever!

Hopefully, this helps you spend a little more time creating the best & easiest goals to accomplish.

Here are some notes from today's episode:

• Attainable goals are ones that can actually happen. Like realistically.
• If your goal isn’t something that can actually happen, it shouldn’t be a goal.
• This is why you have to really evaluate your goals. I’m not saying you need to obsess over it or anything, but taking the time to really look into the future, evaluate your skills & resources to see if it’s something you can obtain.
• But I do want to make sure you know that you shouldn’t confuse fear with not believing your goal is unattainable. Those are two different things. If you have a hard time distinguishing, you might want to have someone you trust help you figure out which way you are leaning & don’t let fear get you caught up.
• But again, don’t try to trick yourself or mislead yourself if you REALLY don’t think it could actually be done.
• I understand that certain goals take some time to complete & work towards, but if you know deep inside your heart that it just isn’t realistic, consider something else.
• Now let’s say that you do decide that your goal isn’t attainable. This doesn’t mean you need to give up or move on from it. You can take the time to see what you need to make it attainable & decide if those things are something you can work up to or get help for.
• I also think it’s important to decide if the goal you are choosing isn’t too easy for you. Because if it is, then it’s not a real challenge, nor a real goal if it’s something you can accomplish real quick.
• True goals should be reserved for things that take time, dedication, learning experiences & some work.

Please share this podcast with anyone that may need this encouragement!
