Setting your New Year's resolutions is very similar to setting goals for your business. All your goals should be S.M.A.R.T.:

- Special

- Measurable

- attainable

- Real

- Timely

What does this mean?

The specific goal is one that is focused, it is not general purpose. It is directed in a certain way. No "I'll get more work." But, "I'll get 3 new clients by the end of this month."

objectives must also be measurable. You can measure the results you achieve. How can you measure the goal? Just like: "I'll get 3 new clients until the end of the month" and will measure success by "3 new customers" and "3" and "new".

The objectives should also be attainable. Is this achieved, the goal can be achieved for, we can expect three new customers at the end of the month? Sometimes you have to set a goal, try to reach for it and need to adapt to the target as you can see what you have achieved results. Maybe you'll get more customers and you'll realize that you can get 10 new customers or more in a month. Or maybe just one new customer per month is attainable.

goal should be realistic. Goals should be practical and logical. It is easy to have dreams, but one once said that "Goals are dreams with deadlines." The goals must be more than a dream. Consider realistic when setting goals.

goals and still be timely. Set the date, when will you achieve this goal? When you know that you are successful? You know when you have achieved the goal, and then take steps to set a new goal to achieve!
