Creating Measurable Goals - Creating SMART Goals

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!

Thank you so much for joining me again!

Happy Tuesday!

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:

• Making sure your goals are measurable will help you keep track of your progress.
• Goals that aren’t measurable make it hard to track progress & give you any idea of how far you have come & where you are headed based on how you are progressing.
• Not keeping track of your progress can also cause a lack of motivation.
• And you might not even know you have hit your goals if you don’t keep track of your progress.
• If I haven’t made it clear by now, the biggest thing is to know is when you have accomplished your goal.
• And example of a goal that isn’t measurable is saying you are going to be the best at something. That is hard to measure because it’s very opinion based. A way to make that measurable is you will gain this many clients, make this many sales or run this many miles. 
• Basically, your goal will need to include a number or something that can be counted for it to be measurable.
• I find that keeping a journal, planner or Excel spreadsheet up to date with your goals will help you document those measurables & progress.
• The planner that I have allows me to update my top 3 goals each day and add in a focus for each day. But I also have google sheets that help me keep track of online content, which allows me to track my progress of getting to however many posts, ect.
• It honestly does not matter how you track it. Just find the best way that works for you.
• There are many phone apps that work for progress tracking, as well. One that I really like for iPhone is called Goal Streaks and it’s free. It allows you to create a list of things that you can check off each time you complete it, create reminders for when it needs to be done & any exceptions you may need to incorporate.
• I think I have hit on all the important things for making sure your goals are measurable.
• Find a way to track your progress & make sure your goals can actually be measured.

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