The Habit
SMART Goals
• S – Specific: Provide details to make it easier
to track your goals.
• M – Measurable: Consider how you will
measure your progress.
• A – Attainable: A goal should stretch you, but
it shouldn’t be out of your reach.
• R – Realistic: Do-able. Do you have the time
to commit to this goal?
• T – Timely: Create a timeframe
for the goal.
SMART Goals
SMART Goal Prep
The first step is to determine your "SMART" goal. It
is important that your goal starts with a strong verb!
• Build 3 months emergency savings fund to
$10,000. This is a good example of a SMART goal
because it is specific and you can measure your
results.
