5 Steps for Goal Setting
Posted: January 17, 2022 | By: Stacy Croninger
Are you one who sets goals to start off a new year? If so, do you have your 2022 goals done? If not, these steps may help you set and achieve your goals. If you’ve already set your goals, there are several nuggets for keeping things going throughout the year.
Why set goals?
Each of us needs direction in our lives to help us stay focused and feel fulfilled. Setting goals does this – it gives us a way to track progress, create new behaviors and keep us moving forward. You may feel like setting goals is boring and mundane, but it doesn’t need to be. You can get creative in your goal setting.
5 Goal Setting Steps
There are many approaches to setting goals, but Entrepreneur suggests the following steps:
- Set goals that motivate you. When you set a goal, it has to mean something, and there has to be a value to achieving it. If the outcome is of little to no importance to you, then the chances of your putting in the work are next to none.
- Set SMART goals. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time bound.
- Write down your goals. I start every day writing down a list of “to-dos,” as well as print out a calendar with my meetings for the day. I keep these daily goals visible at all times and cross check the things I’ve accomplished to gauge where I stand at the end of the day.
- Put a plan in action. Write down all of the individual steps. This is your road map to executing your plan as flawlessly as possible.
- Work the plan. Having a plan in place makes you official. Working the plan makes you successful.

If you find that traditional goals don’t work, maybe try 22 for 2022, where you create a list of 22 things you want to do in 2022. Or create a vision board that contains your goals. The key is to know what you want and write it down so you don’t forget.
