Knowing how to set and achieve goals are important life skills. Lets explore how to set and achieve goals …
What is Goal Setting? The process of workingtowardsomething you want to accomplish
TWO THINGS TO CONSIDER: (1) Is your goal a short term goal or a long term goal ? (2) Make sure your goal is realistic and reachable.
REMEMBER: Long Term goals require a lot more time and patience than Short Term goals

EIGHT STEPS TO FOLLOW: STEP 1: Write your goal down. * Put your written goal someplace where you will see it often.
STEP 2: Make a plan . * List stepsyou need to follow to meet your goal.* Breaking your big goal into small steps can make it easierto meet your goal.
