A SMART goal is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely.⠀
⠀
For example, some of you may know, I'm not only a copywriter, but I'm also a mental health advocate and a psychotherapist in training. My goal is to own a private practice where I help people deal with their mental illness and motivate them to live their best life. There are some things I need to consider with this goal.⠀
⠀
Is it specific? It's specific and I broke it down even further into steps. I first need to graduate with my Masters's degree. Then I need to work 3 years under supervision. Finally, I can have my private practice.⠀
⠀
Is it measurable? I can measure my success by the grades I get in all my classes, making internship hours, getting a good job after graduation, and constantly learning!⠀
⠀
Is it achievable? I certainly believe so. I graduated with my Bachelor's, which gave me the skills I need for graduate school.⠀
⠀
Is it relevant? It is because I believe it is my life's purpose to help people.⠀
⠀
Is it timely? I know it will take me 5 more years to reach this goal. This is a rather long term goal, but that's ok because I broke it up into achievable steps. I need 2 more years to get my Master's (I'm doing part-time) and 3 more years of working under supervision.⠀
⠀
And you damn well know I celebrate every achievement in between? 🎉⠀
What are your smart goals?
