How can goal-setting help you stay motivated and engaged?

Once a Goal is established, a journey is envisioned! When the goal is a SMART one with a defined timeline, it creates motivation to begin the journey! I believe, experiencing the journey is as important as achieving the goal.

Dica: Perceber as metas (algo possível, atrativo e mensurável) como pontos de referência na caminhada até o objetivo pode pode ser muito motivador. As referencias levar?o o indivíduo a colocar o plano em a??o, e a visualiza??o dos resultados atingidos, bem como a aproxima??o do foco principal. Tudo isso vira combustível para que a pessoa persista e alcance o objetivo.

Goal-setting is essential as it provides a clear roadmap to success. It helps in defining objectives, offering direction and clarity. This process not only keeps us motivated but also enables us to track progress, fostering personal and professional growth. By setting and achieving goals, we challenge ourselves, learn new skills, and gain confidence. Celebrating these milestones further boosts our satisfaction and confidence, driving us towards greater achievements. In short, goal-setting is a powerful tool for anyone looking to grow, succeed, and stay engaged in their endeavors.

Goal setting is about clarity. Entrepreneurs who are actively seeking new opportunities find new opportunities. Goal setting serves as this roadmap helping you get direction and accelerate business growth. Goal setting demands accountability. You must review often and pivot when necessary.

What directions did you follow? ??♀?You didn’t enter any… ??That’s what it’s like living a life without goals…you spend your life making the best of where you are because you didn’t decide what you wanted!!

Setting SMART goals starts by identifying what you want to achieve and why you would want to achieve it. Once you have an overall picture you can start to set milestones which will further break it down to goals and then a to-do list. I find that this initial assessment of your what and why, brings in more fun and less overwhelm when you start to deep dive into the nitty-gritty details of goal achievement. Remember setting SMART goals is about setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely goals.

Setting SMART goals is a game-changer. This framework stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, ensuring your goals are clear and realistic. Start by defining what you want to achieve and determining how to measure progress. Ensure your goals are attainable, considering your resources and constraints. Reflect on the relevance of each goal to your personal or professional context. Lastly, set a realistic deadline to stay focused and motivated. By using the SMART criteria, you can set goals that are not only achievable but also meaningful, steering clear of vague or unrealistic expectations that could lead to demotivation.

Setting SMART goals should be something that is not too complex or difficult to understand. In the basic form, a SMART goals should be easy to understand and interpret in the real sense of it. The most important aspect of it should be the purpose and meaning of the SMART goals to the owner of it and whether it is achievable or not.

Two alternative meanings in the "A" and "R": Specific Measurable ACTIONABLE REALISTIC/RISKY Timely I prefer "Actionable" because it gets you in the mindset of doing a little bit each day, which is how you get the big goals done. And some people say "Realistic" is too limiting while "Risky" is too scary. I like to meet in the middle. If you set a goal that makes your stomach flip with excitement but your mind jumps to "What if?" statements, you know you've found the right goal!

Aligning goals with your values and vision is crucial for meaningful success. Your values, the core principles guiding your actions, and your vision, the long-term picture of your aspirations, must resonate with your objectives. This alignment ensures your goals are not just achievements but reflections of your true desires and passions. To achieve this, assess how each goal relates to your core values. Consider if it supports or enhances your life's vision and purpose. Reflect on the impact achieving these goals will have on your well-being and how it will make you feel. This process ensures that your goals are both fulfilling and in harmony with who you are and what you truly want in life.

Creating goals is not about doing work and making money, this is what leads to depression. You want to create goals that align with your values and vision. Your passion defines your values. Creating goals requires so much inner work, not many entrepreneurs like to dive into.

My experience in coaching hundreds of leaders at all levels is that we place too much emphasis on goal setting while glossing over the importance of having real clarity around vision and values. Your vision and values are not something you do once and move on. When they become your daily source of energy, inspiration and direction, goals naturally align.

What is your motivation is for wanting to achieve the goals you set? ??Success is in the preparation. ??There’s a number of ways to find out the answers to the above, in RESET Your Results my 30 Day Group Program we start with the wheel of life. ??Once you know what areas of your life you want to improve you have a better understanding of where to start and what really matters to you & the life you are designing. ??Then you build your action plan from there.

As humans, it may be tempting to want to set our aims so high while we forget the underline factors such as resources availability and other necessary requirements. It is important to know and examine one's capabilities, strengths, weaknesses and opportunities because without these, goals could easily become arbitrary and vague. Understanding where you are coming from, where you are and where you want to go can help you better align your goals with your values and vision.

Creating manageable steps for your goals starts with personal awareness. Are you a morning person or an evening? Which timezones do you currently work? Once you understand how you work best create your schedule around that. Identify your priorities and cover those first. Ensure to schedule personal time and creative time where you can learn new things, unwind, and get your creative flow going.

Setting goals is not enough, you need to be able to break them down into actionable steps that you can start doing to achieve them. This involves easy articulation of the main goals and steps involve in achieving it. When your goals are to vague and lacks necessary SMART elements, it can become difficult to express steps necessary to achieve them. I feel by making goals as descriptive as possible can help us to better dissect it into easy and achievable small steps that can be taken one at a time.

To effectively achieve your goals, break them down into manageable steps. Start by identifying key milestones within your SMART goals, aligning them with your values and vision. Then, divide these milestones into smaller tasks, assigning deadlines and priorities to each. This method transforms overwhelming objectives into achievable actions, ensuring a clear, organized path to success. Regularly review and adjust your plan to stay on track. This approach not only simplifies complex goals but also maintains motivation and clarity throughout your journey.

I LOVE this step. This is where the rubber meets the road, and your big dreams and planning become actionable items on a to-do list. Two pieces of advice: 1) Choose three priorities each day. You're not going to get to everything on your list, so choose the top 3 that you'd like to accomplish before the day ends. 2) Practice self-kindness. Sometimes your brain is just not in the headspace to tackle your to-do list. That's ok! Your brain will make up for it another time. On that note, schedule your to-do items during points in your schedule when you feel most awake and focused. Then be kind to yourself if your head is just not there at the moment. It'll find it's way back.

Regular recognition is not only vital but the biggest indicator that you are moving closer to the goal you have set for yourself. We often forget (as time moves so fast) to reward ourselves and show self-compassion for each step taken towards the bigger picture. How? I like to keep a record of my tasks towards goals on MS To-Do. I like this tool as I can use steps to break down goals into more manageable pieces or tasks and love the sound it makes when I tick an item off! Make sure you treat yourself and recognize your personal and professional wins - big or small.

Monitoring and rewarding progress is crucial in goal achievement. Set up a tracking system, like a journal, spreadsheet, or app, to measure your progress. Regularly review this against your goals to stay on course. Celebrate every accomplishment, big or small, with rewards that bring joy or pride. Embrace mistakes and feedback as growth opportunities. By combining this with SMART goals, aligning them with your values and vision, and breaking them down into manageable steps, you not only achieve your goals but also enjoy the journey. This approach keeps you motivated and acknowledges your efforts, making the path to success both rewarding and fulfilling.

Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The purpose of tracking is to inform you of your progress so that you can tweak it as appropriate. The Digital age has provided countless tools for tracking and project management that entrepreneurs can use. You just need to ensure you track metrics that affect your bottom line. And remember to celebrate every win.

Just like every other things that are worthy of attention. Goals need to be monitor for progress. Learn to celebrate your wins whether small or big because that would boost your motivation to want to do more and set even higher goals when you might have achieved your previous set goals. You can set aside either daily, weekly or monthly time to keep track, evaluate and gauage how your actions and efforts are impacting your set goals, be it taking you closer to them or far away from them. Through monitoring and evaluation, you can get to know what is working and what is not so as to be able to make the necessary changes as you move ahead.

Goal setting can be really challenging for hyper achievers! If you are someone constantly trying to go above and beyond on your own standards it can feel impossible to ever be happy when it comes to your goals - whether you achieve them or not. For the hyper achievers I coach, we talk more about success & what that looks like for them. From there we set intentions or actions they can take to get closer to that vision of success. Then as their coach, I hold them accountable to those intentions & actions. If they get off track, we revert back to what success looks like and make sure we are still in alignment and if not ask what can we do to get back.

The goal setting is diverse. It resonates with individuals in unique ways. Whether analytical or creative, finding a method that aligns with personality and values is key. Exploring these diverse approaches allows individuals to customise their goal-setting process, paving the way for a fulfilling and successful journey. The article only talks about SMART goals. However, flexibility is an important ally. Hence, the other ways of setting goals should be considered as and when appropriate.

In my experience, some women can have a hard time setting, keeping and being motivated by goals, why? because our moods and motivation can fluctuate on a daily/weekly/monthly basis with our hormones. We tend to be more emotional beings, which is likely to translate to not keeping to hard and fast goals but enjoying and thriving in the ability to think beyond goals as a set target or finish line.

Goals must come from a place of meaning. Growing by 10% is business as usual. Growing by 10% so the profit can be used to ‘x’ attach meaning and therefore more likely to be achieved. Purpose then profit.

Along with the SMART goals, it's very important to create a "motto" goal which brings out a positive image for the person. ex: SMART goal to weigh X kgs by [date] can bring in images of discipline, exercise, getting up early - which may not be a good emotional connect to have. Instead, if the motto goal of "I am moving around freely full of energy" can have a good positive emotional connect that motivates one to go through the rigour. Once a positive motto goal is set, the execution part can be designed using SMART goals
