Set Your Goal with SMART

Filed in: Life Log — July 19th, 2005

Have you set your goal? How to set a goal? Read “SMART Goal Setting“.

S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Realistic
T = Timely

Example:
I want to earn RM5000 per month from my websites. I will earn the money from Google Adsense and BlogAds. Everyday earn RM166.70 (USD$43.90). I will reach my goal by end of year 2005 (before Christmas).

Thought:
“Measurable” is very important. Once my teacher told me that westen countries are more well developed because they have everything measurable, whereas easten coutries like to use “feeling”, which is not measureable.

I have set my goal in May about target of earning money from Internet. Have I reached my goal? Well, I can only reveal that my online profit is more than my fulltime job salary now.

So, what is your goal?

    One of my probably hardest goal to achieve is to become a millionaire by 30. And by 20, I’d like my blog to generate me enough income so I can be independent.
