Our 10 Tips for Successful Goal Setting

1. Create different categories for your goals (e.g. business / career, relationships, fitness / health, finances, personal growth, social impact, etc.)
2. Set S.M.A.R.T. goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timebound)
3. Short-term vs long-term goals (break down your 5-year-plan into smaller short-term goals and align your weekly/monthly goals with your long-term life vision)
4. Habit goals (example: health habits such as going for daily walks) vs one-time goals (example: a work goal with a clearly defined start and end date that creates feeling of satisfaction upon completion)
5. Create Systems (eg. create a hiring process) and Habits (eg. log into LinkedIn every morning) to help you achieve your Goals (eg. grow your business)
6. Focus on input goals rather than output goals (because 99% of the time the output depends on external factors but you can control 100% of your input to achieve goals)
7. Find an Accountability Partner
8. Write down your goals and create habit trackers and vision boards
9. Use the Pressure Method for motivation
10. Celebrate your achievements!
