The Coaching Hour minute provides insights and perspectives on being effective in business. Hosted by Certified Coach Jason Jones.

Are you settling rather than achieving what you deserve? You probably are without even knowing it. Your view of what you need to set a long term goal maybe be keeping you from what you can really achieve. What that is and how to avoid it is next in our coaching hour minute.

I╒m Jason Jones with the coaching hour and Smart is a acronym developed by Peter Druker that is a guide for setting goals you can win. It stands for what a goal should be

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Time based

For example if my goal is to gross 10 thousand dollars a month in my business by the end of the year I can use the guide to see if Iim setting myself up to win. It’s specific as a dollar amount, it╒s measureable because I can track my income, it╒s attainable I think I can do it╔ How am I going to do it? Do I know where all of this business to going to come from? Can I predict everything that will get in my way between now at the end of the year?

If I only consider that something is attainable by whether not I can see and plan every possible problem I may encounter, I will always make my goal smaller. A goal should be a bit scary, being unsure if you can achieve it is a great place to be, and trusting that you are smart enough to tap your network, call a mentor or do some research to overcome obstacles you didn╒t predict will take you further than sticking only to what you know right now.
