Long term GoalsEach long term goal should

have more than one short term goal.

Long term goals should be revisited often.

Are the end result to a group of short term goals.

Short term Goals Short term goals should be

made often; a schedule of when these will be made helps, i.e. weekly, daily, etc.

Set time limits; deadlines. Includes action words.Exercise, call, write, e-

mail, etc.

MeasurableBe Specific:

Examples: I will exercise for 20

minutes every day. I will call five potential

clients every day. I will write 2 blog posts

per week.

Deadlines and time limitsGive yourself adequate time

for the goal(s), but be strict with yourself on the deadline.

Different goals will require different time limits.

Revisit your deadline often to make sure you are on task.

Own your goalsYour goals should be yours,

not what someone else wants from you.

Prioritize themTake pride in achieving

them

Action PlanWhat steps will it take to

achieve the goal(s)?Do you need to prepare for

any of the steps involved?Do you have time for the

steps?

RealisticDo you have the financial

means for the goal(s)? Do you have the

talent/skill(s) to succeed in achieving the goal(s)?

Have you thought the goal(s) through?

PurposefulWhy is the goal(s)

important to you?What do you hope to gain?Will others gain anything?Will future goals build upon

this one?

AccountabilityWRITE THEM DOWN!!!Share with others- anyone

who will listen, tell them your dreams, goals, and how you will achieve them.

Reflect on the goals you meet and those you don’t.

My Personal Goals I took all seven areas and

wrote 3 long term goals for each with a deadline of a date in the current year.

I will create short term goals weekly based on these long term goals.

If I achieve a goal early, I will create a new one
