Goal Setting is S.M.A.R.T. Business
Goal setting is as important in personal life as it is in business. The most common denominator in all the self-help literature and books is the importance of goal setting. We're told to set long-term goals, short-term goals, lifetime goals and personal goals.
The benefits of Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results orientated, Time-framed (S.M.A.R.T) goals have been written about in self-help books for years. So, it follows that goal setting is obviously a powerful process.
It is about 'eating the elephant, one bite at a time' and of turning vision into achievable, actionable things. It's the common denominator of successful individuals and businesses.
Despite their obvious value, our experience with goals have shown that some are good at setting goals and sticking to them, achieving great results and others can't keep a New Year's resolution to stop smoking for two days in a row.
Failure to set goals can be seen as a fear of failure. That is, the blow to our integrity when we don't reach our goals. When we make and keep commitments, such as setting and achieving goals, it reflects the amount of trust we have in ourselves. We increase our confidence in ourselves to make and keep commitments to others and ourselves. However, when we don't achieve our goals we lose confidence in our ability to make and keep commitments and to trust ourselves.
