GOALS: THE SMART KIND

Sunday, November 3, 2024

 


I talk quite a bit about goals, and I shared on my social media today about smart goals. I'm going to give the overview here, and then this week I'm going to go in depth everyday on what each of the letters means within the acronym. I hope that this helps y'all put it all together. 

S - specific
M - measurable
A - achievable
R - relevant 
T - time bound

Your goals should be broken down into smaller sections with the overall large goal being the ultimate goal. 

For instance, let's say your BIG goal is to make it to the NFR. 

A smaller goal might be circuit finals, or rookie round up during your rookie year. Or to fill your permit. Let's go with filling your permit.

GOAL: I want to fill my WPRA permit in one rodeo season.

Specific: filling the WPRA permit
Measurable: Along the way we can measure our progress to the $1K needed to fill the permit
Achievable: You have from October 1 through September 30 as the rodeo year, so if you plan correctly for rodeos and events that are WPRA approved you could certainly fill it
Relevant: It is relevant to your overall goal because until you fill the permit you can't get a card. Without the card you cannot make it to the top 15 and go to the NFR
Time Bound: This goal is time bound as you've given yourself one rodeo year to achieve it

For more specifics on how to create these goals along each step of the way read this week!
