The worlds’ leading coach, Tony Robbins, always says you have to have a big ‘why’ or ‘reason’ if you are going to achieve any goal.

Well you also have to have a big ‘why’ and ‘reason’ for sitting down and setting goals in the first place!

You probably know that the world’s most popular way of setting goals is to use the S.m.a.r.t. goals acronym. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time- based). What you probably don’t know is the full extent of the benefits you can expect to receive when you set smart goals.

Here are the top 15 reasons why you should use smart goals to help you set your goals.

• You will move away from the vague ‘shoulds’ and ‘wishes’ of your life to a life where you get clear on what you really want, create well formed goals and generate the motivation to make them happen.
• You will learn to always start your thinking by asking yourself what is it you really want.
• You will have a framework of simple proven questions to help you think your goals through thoroughly.
• You will ask yourself the questions that people who are already successful ask themselves.
