Episode Recap

4 Steps to Set and Achieve Goals

1. Write it down

• Be Realistic
• Lifetick, an online goal setting and tracking tool.
• S.M.A.R.T. Goal Setting

Specific = Does the goal clearly state what it will achieve?
Measurable = Will you know if you have achieved your goal?
Achievable/Action-Oriented = is this a goal which can actually be achieved or wishful thinking?
Relevant = Does this goal reflect your values in life?
Time Specific = When do you want to achieve this goal by?

2. Be held accountable

• The differentiator when it comes to achieving goals.
• Julien Gordon’s Guaranteed Goals accountability group.

3. Track the progress

• Avoid “The Ostrich Problem” 

4. Celebrate the achievements
