#344 How to Actually Set & Achieve Goals

Michael Lavers
About this episode

It's great to have goals, but what's the point of having them if we never actually achieve them?

Or maybe you do eventually get there, but wouldn't it be nice if we could get there faster and more efficiently?

In this episode, I talk about SMART goals and give examples of how you can make your goals Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. I give examples from my own goals in life, and also relate it to the example of learning English as a goal.
