1. Have a Goal: Set SMART Goals

The first step in any journey is to define your destination. Without a clear goal, you might find yourself wandering aimlessly. To ensure you stay on track, start by setting SMART goals:

  • Specific: Clearly define what you want to achieve. Be specific about your goal.
  • Measurable: Set measurable criteria to track your progress.
  • Achievable: Ensure your goal is realistic and attainable.
  • Relevant: Make sure your goal aligns with your values and long-term objectives.
  • Time-bound: Set a deadline to create a sense of urgency.

Breaking your overarching goal into smaller, specific sub-goals makes the journey more manageable. This step provides a clear roadmap to follow and keeps you motivated as you achieve each milestone.
