Setting goals is the first step to turning the invisible into the visible. However, setting a goal is not just about writing down something you wish to achieve.
It is about making a plan and ensuring that your goal is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely. In other words, it should be a S.M.A.R.T. goal.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely. These are the five criteria that a goal must meet in order to increase the chances of success.
