I actually like what you’ve acquired here, really like what you are stating and the way in which you say it.

I like the photo, and particularly like no.7 in the list. I would put it at no.1 for importance – leads to enlightened self-interest and self-interested goals, as a fairly usual priority are enhanced.

Now doing a bit of exploring through your blog and the ‘Lifetree” site. Not sure about ‘polarise people’ above – have always thought in terms of differentiate, individualize, but maybe its just semantics. Like the rest, don’t know – yet – what 10-20-30 rule is… Interesting, thanks

Hi Joe,

I am currently finalising my goals for 2013 with mentoring support from YourBestYearYet.com and I’m using SMART as part of my process. However, when I read your blog it struck me that the white paper is commenting on SMART goals as an employee activity within a corporate organisational structure.

An employee, regardless of status, can be as committed or uncommitted to their company’s vision and goals as they choose, whereas an Entrepreneur is 100% committed to SMART goals and their achievement. A successful entrepreneur is focused on delivering excellence to customers and community, and that excellence is not just a result of effective business systems and procedures, but the result of a passion for our business activity, personal integrity, positive attitude, care & compassion for the customer/client.

My own goals are not restricted to my business, they also include my own personal development. Jim Rohn said, “work twice as hard on yourself as you do on your business”. Consequently my business IS my life, it represents who I am every minute of the day. This appears to be the emphasis of the 8 predictors, each of which begins with either ‘I’ or ‘My’ i.e. the goals to be achieved involve the whole person, not just tasks in which to engage.

When we live with this mindset we cannot fail, because such is our strength of character that obstacles are seen as opportunities, and failures are lessons from which we learn. We turn every negative into a positive and are energised and motivated to move forward. In doing so we reap the rewards of who we are, not just the goals we set.
