Resolutions...many people use the turn of the calendar and launch of the new year as a moment to pause and plan new goals for the year ahead. For protein producers, examples of goals may look like this:
- Keep better records
- Build a new barn
- Improve integration of precision technology in my operation
- Improve profitability
But acknowledging a goal is only a very small part of achieving it. Many human resources and coaching curricula recognize a goal setting approach called a SMART strategy. It helps people follow through on set goals by providing these accountability steps noted in the SMART acronym.
SMART Goals must be:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Relevant
- Time-bound
Achieving goals becomes exponentially more plausible when these parameters are used. Perhaps your best goal in 2019 can start with better goal setting.
