Keys to Setting A Great Goal
Personal – Goals that express values
are more easily reached.
Clean – How clean is the motivation behind the
goal?
Safe Enough – Is the risk within your comfort
threshold?
Integrated – Are the actions needed a natural part
of your day?
Affordable – Do you have the time/money for this
goal right now?
Energizing – Does this goal give you juice or tire
you?
Measurable – What are the measures, whether tangible
or intangible?
Trackable – How can you track your progress?
Sourced – Have you really thought the goal through?
Beneficial – How much will you really benefit from
this goal?
Positioning – When reached, what will you be positioned
to accomplish next?
Sustainable – How long will the benefits last when
you reach this goal?
