Using the SMARTER Principle (Part 2)

Posted by: Andrew  :  Category: goal setting

In Part 1 of Using the SMARTER Principle I outlined how it brings your goals into reality and makes them something visual that you can see and follow.

Now in Using the SMARTER Principle Part 2 I will provide you with a SMARTER principle sheet that you can use to follow your goals and watch them unfold and evolve and bring you the success that you are seeking.

As an educator I am 100% behind a method of learning, I use it in my own life, I’ve got my wife hooked on it too as she can see how effective it is. The method is ‘Teach to learn’, now this is very straightforward and what you do is; teach to learn. ::WOW!!::

So if you want the SMARTER principle to be really effective in your life then teach it to someone else, (better yet teach about 2-3 people in your life) show them how it works and give them a copy of the SMARTER Principle sheet to plan their goals with.

By doing this you will strengthen your memory of the SMARTER Principle (IE. What all the letters stand for) and the way that you use it will also be more effective.

Here is the SMARTER Principle sheet for you to download and print.

As you can see it is pretty straightforward; in the first column you can see what each letter of the SMARTER Principle represents, then in the second column a brief description with example.

Now in the third column this is where you write in how you are going to follow this part of the SMARTER Principle, don’t miss any of these out. (Remember this can be used for any goals, it’s not exclusively for fat loss.)

Now the last column is for your evaluation. Stick this evaluation form somewhere; refrigerator door, desk at office, bedroom wall, etc. Don’t put it in a drawer or file it away, this is a living, working document, it’s not magic, you need to work with it.

As you are working towards your goals take notes in the last column, these notes are very important to your own self awareness as you journey towards your goals and also as your goals evolve.

It is very important that you don’t neglect this part of the process.

Ok, I am not going to go on and on like a cat stuck in a bag, you are now equipped to succeed! And remember any failure from here on, will be human!

Keep going! If you fall 5 times then get up 5 times, if you fall 50 times then get up 50 times! YOU CAN AND YOU WILL!
