Session 11 – Set Smart Goals: Create achievable goals for life and financial success
Setting goals that are believable and achievable is important to building success with your finances. Studies have shown that people tend to be more successful in achieving their goals when they write them down and revisit them periodically. As you begin writing your goals down you will need to understand the basics of goal setting. You need to learn how to make your goals believable. If you do not believe your goal is achievable, there is no point in setting it.
Filling up your goals sheet will enable you to think about where you want to be in the next 5-10 years? Consider each of the categories: Health, Family/Relationships, Career, Home, Leisure/Hobbies, Finances, and Other. Where do you currently stand in each area today? How do you see each category one year from now? Prioritize your goals, revisit them frequently, and remind yourself why you set out to accomplish these goals.
