WHY DO YOU NEED TO SET GOALS?
 Setting goals gives you long-term vision and short-
term motivation.

 It focuses on your acquisition of knowledge, and helps you to


organize your time and resources so that you can make the most
out of your life.

 By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, you can measure and take
pride in the achievement of those goals, and you'll see forward
progress in what might previously have seemed a long pointless
grind.

 Your self-confidence will also rise , as you recognize your own


ability and competence in achieving the goals that you've set.
HOW TO SET PERSONAL GOALS?
 You set your goals on a number of levels:

 First you create your "big picture" of what you want to do with
your life (or over, say, the next 10 years), and identify the large-
scale goals that you want to achieve.

 Then, you break these down into the smaller and smaller targets
that you must hit to reach your lifetime goals. That is, set your
goals for next five years, the. Next year, next month, next week
and today, to start moving towards your lifetime goals.

 Finally, once you have your plan, you start working on it to


achieve these goals.
STEPS TO SET YOUR GOALS
 Setting Lifetime Goals or Broader
Goals
 The first step in setting personal goals is to consider what
you want to achieve in your lifetime (or at least, by a
significant and distant age in the future).

 Setting lifetime goals gives you the overall perspective that


shapes all other aspects of your decision making.
SETTING LIFETIME OR BROADER GOALS
 Career – What level do you want to reach in your career,
or what do you want to achieve?

 Financial – How much do you want to earn, by what


stage? How is this related to your career goals?

 Education – Is there any knowledge you want to acquire


in particular? What information and skills will you need to
have in order to achieve other goals?

 Family – How do you want to support or help your


family?
SETTING LIFETIME OR BROADER GOALS
 Artistic – Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?

 Attitude – Is any part of your mindset holding you back? Is there any
part of the way that you behave that upsets you? (If so, set a goal to
improve your behavior or find a solution to the problem.)

 Physical – Are there any athletic goals that you want to achieve, or do
you want good health deep into old age? What steps are you going to
take to achieve this?

 Pleasure – How do you want to enjoy yourself? (Think deeply to what


makes you happy!)

 Public Service – Do you want to make the world a better place? If so,
how?
SETTING SMALL OR SHORT TERM GOALS
 Once you have set your lifetime goals, set a five-year plan of smaller
goals that you need to complete if you are to reach your lifetime
plan.
 Then create a one-year plan, six-month plan, and a one-month plan
of progressively smaller goals that you should reach to achieve your
lifetime goals. Each of these should be based on the previous plan.
 Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today
to work towards your lifetime goals.
 At an early stage, your smaller goals might be to read books and
gather information on the achievement of your higher level goals.
This will help you to improve the quality and realism of your goal
setting.
 Finally, review your plans, and make sure that they fit the way in
which you want to live your life.
SMART GOAL
SMART GOAL
 S= Specific

 Be as clear and specific as possible with what you want


to achieve. The more narrow your goal, the more you
will understand the steps necessary to achieve it.

 Example: “I want to earn a position managing a


development team for a startup tech company.”
SMART GOAL
 M = Measurable
 What evidence will prove you are making progress toward your
goal?
 For example, if your goal is to earn a position managing a
development team for a startup tech company, you
might measure progress by the number of management positions
you have applied for and the number of interviews you have
completed.
 Setting milestones along the way will give you the opportunity to
re-evaluate and course-correct as needed. When you achieve
your milestones, remember to reward yourself in small but
meaningful ways.
 Example: “I will apply to three open positions for the manager
of a development team at a tech startup.”
SMART GOAL
 A = Achievable

 Have you set an achievable goal? Setting goals you can reasonably
accomplish within a certain timeframe will help keep you motivated
and focused.

 Using the above example of earning a job managing a development


team, you should know the credentials, experience and skills necessary
to earn a leadership position. Before you begin working toward a goal,
decide whether it’s something you can achieve now or whether there
are additional preliminary steps you should take to become better
prepared.

 Example: “I will update my resume with relevant qualifications, so I


can apply to three open positions for the manager of a development
team at a tech startup.”
SMART GOAL
 R = Relevant

 When setting goals for yourself, consider whether or not they are
relevant. Each of your goals should align with your values and
long-term goals.
 If a goal doesn’t contribute toward your broader objectives, you
might rethink it.
 Ask yourself why the goal is important to you, how achieving it
will help you and how it will contribute toward your long-term
goals.

 Example: “To achieve my goal of being in leadership, I will


update my resume with relevant qualifications so I can apply to
three open positions for the manager of a development team at a
tech startup.”
SMART GOAL
 T = Time-based
 What is your goal time-frame? An end-date can help provide
motivation and help you prioritize.
 For example, if your goal is to earn a promotion to a more
senior position, you might give yourself 2 years.
 If you haven’t achieved your goal in that timeframe, take
time to consider why. Your timeframe might have been
unrealistic, you might have run into unexpected
roadblocks or your goal might have been unachievable.

 Example: “To achieve my goal of being in leadership, I will


update my resume with relevant qualifications so I can apply
to three open positions for the manager of a development
team at a tech startup this week.”
