As 2013 approaches most people are thinking about what will happen during that year and what happened this past year. The end of the year then is a great time to address the issue of goal setting and what is involved in that and how to achieve the best results from it. There is a great book from which some of the subject matter of this podcast comes: Tommy Newberry's Success Is Not an Accident: Change Your Choices; Change Your Life. Here are the Eight Rules to Effective Goal Settings:
- They must be written down
- They must be state in the present tense
- They must be stated positively
- They must be consistent with your core values and mission statement
- They must be specific and measurable
- They must be time-bound
- They must be balanced between reasonableness and challenge
- They must be thoroughly planned
