What is goal setting to you?
Well, goal setting, is the act of first identifying a specific achievable feat, or objective (which you wish to acquire), and thereafter develop a plan towards achieving such objectives. If I was asked I will say a goal is actually different from wishes or desires, because a goal requires dedication, willingness, and seriousness on the part of the goal setter. Hence, for someone to set goals it means the person most likely has committed thought towards achieving a particular thing.
Crafting realistic goals is an indispensable component of one's personal and career advancement, serving as a directional compass for individuals.
Setting goals does not only help keep us motivated towards our desired destination, but it also enables us to keep track of how far we have gone and how close or far we are from a setted milestone.
Why do you need to set smart goals?
It's very important to set smart goals, because the goals setted like I said earlier, make us more determined, committed, and successful in several areas of life.
The cool thing about setted goals is that they are time-bound, meaning they have a specific time frame, and this brings about a sense of urgency thereby making you leave your comfort zone in order to meet up.
Smart goals also boost our confidence...as we begin to move closer and closer to each milestone or goal setted, we obviously begin to develop this sense of confidence...and I believe applying this to my hive career will help me improve greatly.
What are your goals as regards your Hive power, your followers, your engagement, your consistency, and any other goals as a newbie here on Hive?
As a new hive user, my goals are to increase my Hive power to at least 220 HP,
grow my follower base to at least 74,
and increase the engagement my posts receive. And for sure, to achieve the above listed, I have to increase my research, so as to be able to create more valuable/high-quality posts because that's obviously one of the keys to getting engagement on a post, which in turn, Increases the likelihood of getting new followers. I will also try my very best, to engage on the post of at least 70 other Hive users, bringing good vibes their way, and most importantly, be of help to new hive users like myself...helping them in areas I know I can!
Bottom line, consistency is the key so I will try my very best to post quality articles every week (only then can i earn or receive hive rewards).
By setting clear goals and staying committed to them, I can achieve success on Hive.
Analyze the goals above, what makes them SMART GOALS?
Like I have said before, smart goals are more specific, in terms of numbers and as a result, are Measurable therefore making it easy to track progress easily.
Therefore i believe, my goal to increase my Hive power, and followers is Specific, as I have a clear target in mind, and this makes it a smart goal on its own.
My second reason, is the fact my goal is very achievable within the said period
Moreover, my goals stating my willingness to grow my followers, is very important as it has a way of affecting my overall success here on hive, and is obviously time- bound because I have a timeline for achieving it. And just like I said earlier, I need to do more research so as to be able to give out more quality posts which will hopefully give me good engagement and in turn real followers.
What strategies do you want to put in place to achieve your goals?
To achieve my setted goals, I honestly have to work on my engagement with the post of others, I will also join communities I know I can share articles with people of same Interest...I like writing stories by the way so i will most likely post more stories with time... but i will try to be jack of all trade once in a while lol😅. Just like I said before, I will work on Developing high quality articles too!.
Finally I would like to say a very big thank you to all those who came together to initiate this. It really shows how much you care about we newbies. I will also like to thank my group leader, 
Thanks for reading🙂❤️
