It's a new year and we are quick to schedule our goals on January 1st. What about accomplishing them though? What's it take to make a goal go from idea to achieved? Most of us have these ideas and goals in mind but we don't see results. Typically it falls within a lack of framework, motivation, mindset, knowledge, skill, etc.  In this episode we talk about: 1) Preparation and Organizing your goals 2) Goal Clarity 3) Smart Goals  A recap of some of the smart goals: ​​ Specific – What is the target goal, let’s take my example earlier and break it up. So if it’s getting further knowledge and skills on excel within 5 weeks for an interview. Has to be as specific as possible you can't just say get more knowledge on excel. Measurable – Knowing it’s measurable you can think of time and what's accomplished so if I say 5 weeks to complete knowledge and education is that valid? Attainable- How do you intend to accomplish your goal? Which actions follow other actions? Is the goal realistic given where you’re starting from? You should have a goal that's possible to achieve. Like we cant say becoming an excel expert in 1-day that's not possible or highly unlikely. Relevant – Does it relate to what the goal is, is it relevant.  Hope you enjoyed this episode check out my socials and offers below:  FIND MELISSA CARVALHO: connect with me and send me a message over on LinkedIn: CLICK HERE Optimize your job search with an ATS Friendly Resume Template: CLICK HERE Grab my Salary Negotiation Guide: CLICK HERE
