Here's a Few SMART Goal Examples to Get Your Ideas Flowing.

Here you'll find a list of goal examples under a number of different headings.

Although we are dealing mainly with your financial and business goals with this site, your life is a sum of its individual parts and each goal will likely have an impact on goals in other areas of your life.

For instance, when you've written your list of goals, you may decide that spending more time with your family is the most important thing in your life right now.

Maybe you have young children and you want to spend as much time with them before they go to school. If your business goals require you to spend 10 hours a day working on your business, you are going to end up very frustrated and not achieving either goal.

So, before you start, divide your page into these sections and label them 'Financial', 'Business', 'Health', 'Relationships', 'Spirituality / Self Development', 'Family and Friends' and 'Fun' so that you can put your goals under these various headings.

NB These headings are not set in stone. Remember this is your life, so use headings that are relevant to you. There are plenty of examples around the internet and in books if you want to explore this area further
