Smart Goals V's New Smart Goals

from Five Years From Now Hosted by Martin Cole

Today we are going to be talking about traditional smart goals and the new smart goals method. Now, if you're familiar with the Smart Goals acronym SMART, you might know it is constructed like this: S. Specific. M. Measurable. A. Actionable. R. Relevant. T. Time-bound. Now this is a great acronym, and smart goals are pretty good for, let us say, achieving 'things' in your life. The problem with a lot of goals setting is the failure rate. We fail to attain the goals we set. The principal reason for this is because we create a lot of our goals based on what society portrays as success. Society gives us a lot of goals which turn out to be egocentric. What do I mean by egocentric? Let's try and break this down. By setting goals, we're looking to achieve something that we don't currently possess. Often the root of these goals is providing us with something helpful to our personal life, or to give us some advantage over another person or situation. Now, at a base level, it seems okay. It seems right. This is the process we should be following. This is the type of goal we should be aiming for. It gives us something specific that will enhance our life. And like I say, we usually set these goals around the idea of attaining 'things'. So we might want to achieve a particular position in our company. We might want to accomplish a specific level of income. We might want to achieve a particular level of authority. But these types of goals are very much egocentric type of goals. This is why around 80% of our goals are not reached. Some people even say it's as high as 90% per cent of our goals end up failing. So what I will propose here is that we look at a NEW smart goals method. Show Notes over at https://yournewmindproject.com/
