		<description>Hi Larry,

Welcome! Yes I couldn&#039;t agree more. Research has shown that those who write goals down are more likely to achieve them.

		<description>Nice strategy.  I think #1 is most important because if you don&#039;t write them down, you will forget them.</description>

		<description>Hi Jeanine,

Great to have you visit and add to the discussion. Thank you. :)

I have used S.M.A.R.T goals before and you are right it is a great way to formulate goals.

		<description>Nice and useful tips. In my experience, one of the best goal setting method I&#039;ve ever used is the S.M.A.R.T Technique. To formulate a goal, it must be:
S- Specific
M- Measurable
A- Attainable
R- Realistic
T- Time bounded

I learn this technique from a seminar I attended about goal setting. This is very useful in formulating challenging but still attainable goals, and I agree that goals helps us to become focused and on target. What you are suggesting in your post is similar to the SMART technique such as establishing time lines,etc.</description>

		<description>I know you did not intend this to be an all encompassing personal development post and your goals are a great start. I do tend to encourage people to start with identifying what their limiting beliefs are. If we all can create anything in our lives, and we are in fact doing that right now, then what would you create?

Very nice post Marcus,
