How SMART Are Your Goals for 2024? Will You Actually Achieve Them?
This is the time of year when we naturally reflect on the big wins and hard lessons of the last 12 months, and consider the year to come.
The key to making 2024 great is setting SMART goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
SMART goals aren’t just aspirations – they are your roadmap to success.
Consider adopting the 12-Week Year Mindset: Instead of overwhelming yearly goals, break them down into manageable chunks of 1-3 SMART goals per quarter.
