You’ll hear people tell you that you need to create “SMART Goals” or that “You have to make your professional goals line up with your personal goals.” Or, “The best way to develop your future self is to create an action plan of smaller goals moving you toward more attainable goals.”

I suppose that all of those things are true. But my advice is not to overly complicate the process. In “plain speak,” figure out where you want to go, determine a route to get you there, and start moving.

Here is the step-by-step goal-setting process that I use.

1) Create a Clear Vision of Where You Are Heading (Long-Term Goals).
2) Define Your Milestones (Your Midterm Goals).
3) Set Daily and Weekly Action Plans to Move You Toward the Next Milestone (Short-Term Goals).
4) Track Your Progress Visibly Along the Way. (That’s One More Mile Down.)
5) Review Your Goals Regularly and Make Adjustments When Needed.

On this episode, I'm going to cover each of these steps in more detail.
