b'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.
