Setting Goals is the Key to Success\n2nd of 5\n(https://hughballou.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Running-360-Goals-300x180.jpeg)\nAt the root of all success is a vision and intention. We must learn to set achievable goals.\nI lead teams.\nI lead meetings.\nI teach leaders to lead.\nI can see the end result, because I have defined it clearly.\nI set a goal to be in shape. I have expressed the goal in terms of running a certain distance in a certain amount of time. I can't accomplish that goal without the following:\n\n* The belief that I will succeed...\n* A description of what it looks like when I have succeeded...\n* A long-term vision...\n* Short-term goals...\n* A weekly schedule...\n* A daily plan of action...\n\nThat works for my work, as well as for my running.\nWhat about your work?\nWhat about your life?\nGoals are SMART!\n\nS = Specific\nM = Measurable\nA = Accountable\nR = Realistic\nT = Timed\n\nNote to the frantic and weary: The "A" for accountable provides the traction that makes goals work.
