Goals are statements describing our desired end results.
Objectives are similar to goals, and the words often are interchanged.
Short-term goals take less than one year to achieve.
Long-term goals require one or more years to achieve.
Rewards for goals can be intrinsic (internal emotions/thoughts) or extrinsic (tangible objects).
SMART is an acronym for goal-setting meaning “Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely.”
Motivating goals need to contain all of the SMART criteria.
To set goals effectively, one must have an internal locus of control and a creator or growth mindset.
Talk to important people in your life about your goals and ask them to hold you accountable for working on the steps necessary to achieve the goal.
