5 Set Tangible, Definite And Measurable Goals:
I mentioned this earlier and I will just go brief on it. Your goals should be tangible, definite and should have time duration for its actualization. Your goals should specify what you are going to do, and when you are going to do it, so as to achieve what you intend to do.
6 Set Realistic Goals:
Your goals should be doable and achievable. Look at where you are before setting goals. Don’t go too high, don’t go too low; know your limits and where you are first. Imagine someone who has never saved and he planned on saving 70% of his income. It is a good move but it is not realistic because such a person might not keep up with it. Consistency is vital when setting goals and you need to stretch yourself, but not too much. If you earn $200 a month and you want to save $1, it seems a little too low and too achievable without stretching yourself. Go a little higher and I know it is dependent on your expenses every month, but you should be able to cut some excesses before you can achieve that.
Set your goals and make them realistic. Like I said, they shouldn’t be too high; that it might discourage you, and they shouldn’t be too low; that they might be too easy. Balance is needed in everything and you need to make your goals flexible.
The last thing I want to be dealing with on goals would be how you can relate with your goals. Once you have followed the rudiments in goal setting, you need to be able to relate with your goals the way they ought to be related to.
