I think Ii still need to explore the idea of SMART goals further before I can successfully start implementing them. At present I do think I have a strong strategy which I outlined earlier but while I believe these strategies could be re-written into SMART goals I need to make them more Specific, Measurable and Time-Oreinted as in "when am I going to do them".
For example one of my strategies is to "Continue to work within the technology and web development industry/landscape" but to be more specific I think I need to work out which technology I want to focus on, which companies in the industry and where are those companies? When am I going to approach these companies? How do I measure this or rank my progress on this?
I do think however my goals/stratagies toward my purpose and vision are Attainable and Relevant. Attainable in that I already have several years of experience in the industry and a good background in technology, coding and I am able and willing to continue learning to enhance my skills so I am able to achieve the goals that I will eventually set. (Perhaps working out what learning I need to undertake and when could be a SMART goal to add).
My goals are also relevant as they all fit and help me progress towards helping make the web an easier place for businesses but without having nailed down my BHAG or full vision the goals themselves are slightly unclear.
The more time I can spend converting and breaking down my strategies the clearer my SMART goals will start to become. (A SMART goal now would be to work out what my SMART goals are and to set a time frame on sorting those out, though one time frame has been set for me... the hand in date on the Personal Development Plan!)
To what extent does your vision translate into SMART short-term goals and how clear, relevant are they?
