This year 2009, what do you want and how to achieve it? Whether you are a student, entrepreneur, employee, government servant & etc, we have to plan for our goal. Below is some of theory that I will plan for my goal in 2009.
I will use the theory of how to plan for a S.M.A.R.T Goals, the goals must be:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely / Tangible
Specific - The goal must be specific rather than general goal. Below four "W" will lead you better planning your goal.
Who: Who should do it ?
What: What you should do?
Where: The place.
Why: What reason make you to plan this goal?
Measurable - The goal must be able to determine, such as I want to save extra RM100.00 per month, then after 6 months need to measure it, whether you achieve it?
Attainable - The goal must make it come true. Do your abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach it? If not, how to make it happen?
Realistic - The goal must be justifiable by yourself, do you willing to do it? You can not set a goal that, I want to earn RM1million per year, but in realistic you just work 8hour office work with your employer and take a salary of RM2,000 per month.
You must beleive that the goals is acheivable, not matter how you must achieve it.
Timely - A goal without time frame is equal to zero. We must set a time, when we must acheive it.
Tangible - When we acheive a goal, it must be able to feel the satisfication. Goal must also be concrete,real and attainable.
Happy planning for your goals. In the market the is a lot of open source that can assist you to setting up the goals. Not matter you plan your goals in a paper, computer,mind and etc, the most important is we must acheive it and fulfill the theory of S.M.A.R.T then we will feel the satisfication.
