Smarten Up and Get Clear

To achieve maximum results with priority (goal) management you must make your goals crystal clear and keep your vision clear in your mind.  Your “blueprint for success” is using the SMARTEN UP planning method to create a detailed plan of action and bring your broad vision into focus.

Your goals must be:

• Specific:  Your goal must be absolutely clear and well defined.
• Measurable:  Quantify what you want to achieve.  Your brain needs a clear instruction.
• Appealing:  A goal that is not attractive to you will not motivate you.
• Realistic:  Is this goal realistic for you?  Be sure you are setting yourself up for success.
• Time Specific or Time Bound:  Timed milestones insure focus and eliminates the tendency to procrastinate.
• Enthusiastic:  Be excited about the entire journey you take to get to your goal.
• Natural:  Your goal must be in tune with your intuition and values – not someone else’s.
• Understood:  It must be clearly understood by the key players in your life.
• Purposeful:  What unique gifts and talents do you bring to the world?  When you are in alignment with your individual purpose (and passion!) you experience the greatest fulfillment.
