Setting Achievable Goals 🥇🥇 | Tech & Mental Health Awareness Series

As you work to accelerate your Salesforce career, the first place you will want to start is taking the time to set goals and track your progress towards those goals. But how do we go about setting goals that matter and that we can follow through with? In this episode, with Empowering Our Minds 🧠🧠 co-hosts Scott Stafford and Sherlyn Fish, we discuss the steps to setting achievable SMART goals. Important steps to setting goals you can reach: ⭐ Believe that you can do it ⭐ Be willing to prioritize the things you need to make it happen ⭐ Make sure the goal is YOUR goal and not someone elses ⭐ Make it a SMART Goal - To make sure your goals are clear and reachable, each one should be: Specific (simple, sensible, significant), Measurable (meaningful, motivating), Achievable (agreed, attainable), Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based) and Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive). ⭐ Incorporate Mentors or Resources along the way.
