Tips for Setting Short Term Goals

By Joe Maldonado


Short-term goals are goals that can be accomplished in the least time. Some examples of short-term goals would be to start an exercise program, organize your closets, and eat a healthier diet. Short-term goals are the ones that are easily attainable simply because they can be completed in such a short amount of time.

The key is to take baby steps at first to get the hang of it. Setting short-term goals, that is goals that take only a short period of time to culminate, are the building blocks to ultimately reaching the long-term goals you have set for yourself and your business. Right now goals are the ones that give you the confidence to move forward.

No one wants to work day after day and see little results. The reason so many online businesses fail is the lack of setting easily achievable goals. To say you want to make 100,000 in the first week is not a realistic expectation. Setting a realistic goal and following through to make it happen is how you will eventually realize the dream of making your first 100,000 dollars.

You should also have a goal in each category, short and long. A long-term goal is seen as something that takes at least two years or longer. Bearing this in mind, it cannot be hard to see why you need the short-term goals. This keeps you motivated while trying to achieve the other goal.

Write it out. Your business plan and goal charts should be visible to you or at least in a place that you can get to them easily. by tracking your progress you can visually see how much you have accomplished. Chart your progress from start to finish and you will be amazed at how much you really are getting done.

You should try for balance in all things. Set goals for all areas of your life including having fun. Some people get so wrapped up in financial and career goals that they leave off the social aspect of their lives. Family and friends have to be as important a goal as the rest of the ones you are setting.

Don't bite off more than you can chew. In other words if you have to break a short-term goal into even smaller pieces then do not fail to do so. Breaking the ultimate down into its components will help you reach it a lot faster and without the resultant frustration of looking at the whole picture all the time.

Timelines are important to your goals setting endeavors. Keep the goals on a short of schedule as possible but you should still be flexible enough to overhaul the entire thing if necessary. This is how a lot of goal setters end up suffering from depression or otherwise being so stressed out all the time that their life doesn't have any joy in it. Do not forget in the end there will be a reward. Take that vacation you have been putting off or just a day at the beach with no worries.
