If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably got a ton of ideas for new projects or businesses in your head. And, you’re probably sure that they’re winning ideas too.

But, the harsh reality is: ideas alone will rarely get you anywhere.

What really matters is the way that you execute those ideas.

And sure, it can be tough to make sure that you execute your ideas properly, but SMART goals can certainly help you on your way.

But, what are SMART goals? Well, they’re goals which are “Specific”, “Measurable”, “Achievable”, “Relevant”, and “Time-bound”.

Smart, huh?

At Oberlo we’re here to help you succeed, so we’ve created this article to guide you through the process of creating and setting SMART goals for yourself.

We’re also going to walk you through the importance of setting goals, and explain why they’re important for boosting your own productivity.

Okay, let’s get started!

Why Is It Important to Set Goals?

The idea of success is different for everybody. So too is the path that they need to take to achieve that success.

But, there’s one common trait that successful people tend to share: they set goals.

And why do successful people set goals for themselves?

Well, goals are the north star which will guide you along your path to success.

It doesn’t matter how large of difficult your task is, nor does it matter how far away you are from success right now. If you set yourself achievable goals then you’ll give yourself the focus and direction that you need to succeed.

Plus, you can set yourself SMART goals that will help you to boost your productivity. If you follow the framework of SMART goals and make sure that they’re  “Specific”, “Measurable”, “Achievable”, “Relevant”, and “Time-bound” then you’ll certainly be motivated to stay productive.

Why? Well, SMART goals do a great job of making the path to success seem much clearer.

On the topic of making things clearer, it’s time to dive into each aspect of SMART goals, starting with “Specific” goals.
