  7. In 1953, a study was conducted of the graduates of Yale University. They were asked if they had a clear, specific set of goals written down with a plan for achieving those goals. Only 3% had written such goals. Twenty years later, researchers went back and interviewed the surviving members of that class. They discovered that the 3% with written specific goals were worth more in financial terms than the entire other 97% combined.

  8. A GOAL WITHOUT A PLAN IS JUST A WISH – Antoine de Saint-Exupery I‘VE FAILED OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE AND THAT IS WHY I SUCCEED Michael Jordan Smart Goals

  9. SMART:Specific • A specific goal will usually answer the five "W" questions: • What: What do I want to accomplish? • Why: Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal. • Who: Who is involved? • Where: Identify a location. • Which: Identify requirements and constraints. • It helps if you can picture it clearly

  10. SMART: Measureable • A measurable goal will usually answer questions such as: • How much? • How many? • How will I know when it is accomplished? • It helps if there’s an objective, defined point

  11. SMART:Attainable • An attainable goal will usually answer the question: • Is this goal realistic? Even if it may be a stretch. • It helps if your goal and your commitment level are well matched

  12. SMART: Relevant • A relevant goal can answer yes to these questions: • Does this seem worthwhile? • Is this the right time? • Does this match our other efforts/needs? • Are you the right person?

  13. SMART: Time-bound • A time-bound goal will usually answer the question: • When? • What can I do today? • What can I do 6 weeks/months/years from now? • It helps if the time frame is close enough to energize you

  14. SMARTGoalv. Vague Goal

  15. VagueGoal:Example • Vague Goal: I want better grades • How do we make it SMART???? • Specific • Measureable • Attainable • Relevant • Time-bound

  16. SMARTGoal: Example I will study every week, attend all classes, ask the professor questions, and use the LRC or classmates as resources to attain better grades • Specific -- YES!!! • Measureable -- YES!!! • Attainable -- YES!!! • Relevant -- YES!!! • Time-bound -- YES!!!

  17. SMART GOALS: TIME • What is the #1 excuse people give for not following through with their goals?

  18. Ironically, if you give yourself too much TIME, you will never commit

  19. SMART GOALS: PLANNING • AN INVESTMENT • Planning is leveraged time. • 20 minutes of planning will save HOURS later • STRUCTURE • Planning provides the method for informed DECISION making. • Establishes a framework that facilitates making smarter and more PROACTIVE choices about how to use your time. • PLAN your work --- WORK your plan

  20. SMART GOALS: PLANNING • STOP PUTTING OUT FIRES • Planning reduces CRISIS management. • Less likelihood of any critical issues coming up. • A plan makes it easier to deal with the unexpected. • FOCUSING YOUR EFFORTS • Focus enables you to CHANNEL your energy positively into reaching your desired outcome. • Focus leads to accomplishing tasks EFFICIENTLY • DIRECTION • Planning allows you to set PRIORITIES and focus on what is important.

  21. SMART GOALS: PLANNING • CLEANING HOUSE • Eliminate bad HABITS and fear of failure. • Sticking to a plan makes you more likely to break some bad habits you might have • ie. surfing around the net without really accomplishing anything • By establishing a plan and sticking to it you are less likely to FAIL.

  22. “Failure”– A Silver lining??? • Gets you closer to attaining goal next time • Can still serve to remove the fear of moving forward • Can serve to re-frame/re-define your plan • Provides learning/experience • Better to attain 90% of a goal, then to never try • Your peers will still be impressed

  23. Achieving a goal is not a “straight line” Accept & Prepare for setbacks as part of the process

  24. SMARTER Goals • The importance of ER • E – Evaluate • How can you measure success without evaluation? • Utilize the SMART goal as the basis of your evaluation – did you meet your objective? • R – Reward • Completing the goal is a reward in itself but treat yourself to something

  25.
