SMART GOALS SUCK!
There, I said it.
I In this episode, find out why SMART goals don’t work, what it takes to actually achieve your goals and dreams (spoiler alert: it has NOTHING to do with SMART goals), and how the world’s most successful people achieve incredible things without a SMART goal.
This is what you didn’t learn in high school (and what your HR department won't talk about), but trust me, it will change your life NOW.
You’ve probably all heard of SMART goals from your high school guidance counsellor, or even your boss, right? And sure, they sound great because they give you a “formula for success,” but the truth is that they don’t work, and I’m going to tell you why. You’ll want to listen so you can find out how SMART goals fail you, hear success stories from some really famous people like Sir James Dyson, JK Rowling, and even Oprah, who all achieved incredible things without using SMART goals, and find out what you SHOULD have in your goals to make them happen.
This is what you didn’t learn in high school, but trust me, it will change your life NOW.
Here are the juicy bits you can look forward to:
1:10 - A refresher on SMART goals
2:05 - How being SPECIFIC can hurt your goal-getting
5:55 - Breaking down MEASURABLE goals
8:58 - Why ACHIEVABLE goals are the exact opposite of what a goal should be
12:11 - How being REALISTIC could be selling yourself short
14:24 - The reasons why TIMELY goals don’t matter
17:40 - What you should really have in your goals (and none of it is SMART)

“A goal is not meant to be what you’ve already done”. -- Lisa Michaud
“If you want something different in your life you can’t base it on who you are today because you’re going to have to change to get something new. You’re going to have to become a different person to get something you’ve never had before.” -- Lisa Michaud
“Let go of this whole achievable thing and know that in your life pretty much anything is achievable. In the next 5-10 years you could be living a radically different life.” -- Lisa Michaud
