  • SMART Goals, Are Not So Much! – Gordon D. Melville
    Aug 30 2024
    The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville The truth is, SMART goals aren’t as inspired as we’ve been led to believe. Sure, they’re Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, & Time-bound—SMART by definition—but they often miss the mark entirely. These goals may check all the boxes, but where’s the fire, the passion, the driving force that propels you toward greatness? SMART goals may set a framework, but they lack the essence of true vision & ambition. In reality, they often constrain us, keeping us within the comfortable confines of mediocrity. The problem with SMART goals is that they encourage you to aim for what's safe, what's predictable, & what’s already within reach. But what about the goals that push boundaries, defy expectations, & shatter limitations? The goals that truly change lives aren’t SMART—they’re audacious, bold, & driven by an unrelenting desire to break free from the ordinary. If you want more than just incremental progress, it’s time to rethink how you set your goals & aim for something far beyond SMART. Come join Gordon D Melville, ‘The Long Bearded Guy’, ‘The King of EQ’ & the ‘Legacy & Resiliency Catalyst’ to the pros as he challenges the conventional wisdom of SMART goals & encourages a more profound, transformative approach to goal setting, consistent with his bold, no-nonsense brand. Bring your journal & the people in your life you love & care about & let’s get after it! Light From The Shadows: Enriching The Lives Of Others Inspired Choices Network Hosts Author Gordon D.
