Real MilestonesYour goal statement is a measure for the project.

However, there are usually several short-term or small measurements that can be built into the goal.

Identifying milestones will help to measure your progress and help you stay on track.

Set a timeframe for the milestones and goals: Putting an end point on your goal gives you a clear target to work

towards.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. Mark Twain

ExtraordinaryA goal needs to stretch you slightly so you feel you

can do it.Set your goals that you can attain with some effort!

Set the bar high enough for a satisfying achievement!

Too difficult and you set the stage for failure, but too low sends the message that you aren't very

capable.

You are the only person on earth who can use your ability. Zig Ziglar
