How to Set Goals
- Start with a long-term goal. Imagine your future in 25 or 30 years.

Goal Statements
- Goal statements should include 5 key elements:

- Specific goals are not general.
- Measurable goals can be tracked and determined when completed.
- Achievable goals are realistic, considering available means.
- Realistic goals are based on available resources.
- Time-bound goals have specified completion times.
Example SMART Financial Goal
- Specific: Saving for a vehicle.
- Measurable: Saving ₹50,000.
- Achievable: If you save ₹1000 per month for three years, it's achievable.
- Realistic: ₹1000-per-month savings is likely realistic.
- Time-bound: Achieve the goal by the end of 2015.
Steps for Achievable Goals
- Maintain a positive mindset when setting goals.
- Goals should be based on personal values, consistent, and motivating.
- Short-term goals should support achieving long-term goals.
Example of a SMART Goal from JFK
- Specific: Landing a man on the moon and safely returning him to Earth.
- Measurable: Verified when the event occurs.
- Achievable: With resources, it was achievable.
- Realistic: With sufficient resources, it was realistic.
- Time-bound: Before the end of the decade.
