Set the right goals


We don't want to be doomed before we even start so we must set the right goal. Without a bright vision, our goals might not take us where we want to go. Have you ever asked yourself where your vision is broad and big? Remember goals are tangible and specific.

Think about you have a vision of being self-employed, a goal of having a capability of developing a business plan in eighteen months. There is no way that either can be assured with the first procedure devised. It is virtually guaranteed to be necessary changes to the vision & goals.


Use your excitement


Try setting a reasonable goal at the beginning when you are excited so when your life inevitable interferes you can pull back to the totally reasonable goal that you set first without giving up on your progress and losing force. The key is to know when to reset your goals. The key to that is seeing how they are connected to a larger picture or purpose.


Stop THINKING & START doing.

Set goals for relationships as well as tasks


The journey is as important as the destination. Make sure you have a good feedback system in order to know. Consider what would make each of you as an individual, as well as a couple, happy. Relationship goals can relate to any areas of your life, such as emotional support, health, financial goals, creating a family, travel and individual goals. You may also like to set some goals relating to managing every day or household tasks, as these can quickly become sources of tension in a relationship.

SMART goals are:

Specific – identify exactly what you want. Spend more time together vs. Spend one-on-one time together without distractions at least once a week.

Measurable – quantify your goal. Save up for a house deposit vs.

Save $10,000 for a house deposit by the end of the year.

Actionable – make your goal more powerful and easier to action by starting with a verb. Be a good listener vs. Listen actively to my partner whenever they are speaking.

Realistic – while it’s good to be ambitious and have goals that stretch you, they need to be doable. Win American Ninja Warrior vs. Participate in a triathlon.

Time-bound – identify a time frame or deadline for each goal. Travel more vs. Book a trip to New York for this year.
