Set SMART Goals Now to Make 2025 Your Best Year Yet

WHAT do you WANT to achieve next year? WHAT matters so much that you're ready to set a strategy to, as my father used to say, “Make it Happen”?

Goals are the foundation of success, and writing them down as clear RESULTS is key. I recommend the S-M-A-R-T process because it’s simple, actionable, and effective:

• Specific: Be clear—no vague or ambiguous goals.
• Measurable: Use numbers or percentages to track progress.
• Attainable: Ensure it’s realistic within the timeframe.
• Relevant to YOU: Choose goals that truly matter to you.
• Time-bound: Set a deadline to drive focus and accountability.

Examples:
✔️ Write $375,000 in Q1 next year.
✔️ Increase sales revenue by 10% over last year by December 31.

If your goals include words like “more,” “better,” or “at least,” it’s time to refine them. Replace those with specific numbers or percentages. Clarity drives action.

Action Steps to Set Goals That Stick

1️⃣ Define What Matters Most: Think about the results you want to achieve and why they’re important to you.
2️⃣ Write SMART Goals: Use the S-M-A-R-T framework to create goals that are actionable and trackable.
3️⃣ Keep It Simple: Focus on 1-3 meaningful goals to maintain clarity and direction.
4️⃣ Share Your Goals: Accountability helps! Share your goals with a mentor, manager, or colleague.
