We realize you have a life, a career and now you are planning your wedding. Our mission is to help you achieve it all. Creating S.M.A.R.T. goals for yourself is a great way to help you get started. This formula can help you stay on top of everything you have going on in your life.
S is for Specific. Define what you want to target. Use the 5 questions Who? What? Where? When? and Why? to help you determine your mission.
M is for Measurable. In order to reach your goal you will have to measure it. Create a weekly timeline to help you keep your goal moving forward.
A is for Attainable. Ask yourself...How do I achieve this? Do I need to stretch myself? How do I make this happen? The answers you find will help you stay on track and motivated.
R is for Realistic. When can I really get this goal done? It is not about when you want to do it, but when you can do it?
T is for Timely. Allow enough time to achieve and reach your goal.
Once you accomplish the S.M.A.R.T. goal and reach your finish line, take on the next task and follow the same steps. You will see how much you moved forward. Good Luck!!!
