Today we are going to set some goals the right way. It’s not December (most likely) and that’s ok, setting goals shouldn’t be just an annual thing.As a freelancer, you are in control of your day, year, life even. This can be daunting and overwhelming at times. This time of year for me is always when I start thinking about my goals. It’s easy to remember because my birthday is this month.For the vast majority though, goal setting doesn’t happen until end of November or in December. I would encourage you to start thinking about your goals a bit earlier than that though. Goals need to be SMART.What is a SMART goalThat’s Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic and Time-based.Most times I don’t remember all 5 because for me what I find helpful is that it needs to be specific, measurable, and time-based.So saying that you want to “increase revenue” is not a SMART goal.It’s not bound by time.Something important here is that the clearer something is in your head, the easier it is to break down into smaller chunks
