Setting goals is no doubt one of the best things you can do to make positive changes in your life, whether it's in your business, your life or your relationships.

S-M-A-R-T is an acronym to follow that will help you create goals that have more substance and a better chance of coming to fruition. Setting S-M-A-R-T goals means to make them
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Realistic
- Timely
