Hey, this is Leo for actualized.org.

In this video, we're going to talk about setting smart goals,

smart goal setting.

So what are smart goals?

We're going to break that down.

And we're just going to talk about how to set goals in a smart way, and we're going to talk about how do you set powerful goals, goals that you can achieve, versus the type of goals that most people set, which are not achieved and do not create the kind of success that people

want from their goal setting process.

So smart goals.

By smart goals, smart is actually an acronym spelled smart and it actually stands for

something in the goal setting process.

So this has been a really widely publicized concept.

You've probably heard of smart goals if you work in the corporate environment

or do any kind of personal development work, basically all across the world.

So smart, what does smart mean?

There are basically five points here and it tells you what kind of goal it basically defines the goal so that you know

that if your goal hits all five of these points then it's a good goal and if it doesn't hit

these five points then it's a bad goal. So let's talk about it. Smart.

And I'm going to list each one item, each letter in the word smart, and then I'm going to go

through and in detail talk about each point. So first is specific. The S and Smart stands for specific. Your goal needs to be specific.

The next point is M measurable. The next point is A attainable. The next point is R realistic, and the final point is T timely.

So those are the five points of a smart goal.

So you can literally use this as a checklist.
