It’s Time to
Get Smart

SMART Goals that is. Before I blather on with this entry, I’d like to share my very first Slideshare presentation on SMART Goals and my Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG).


I’ve been a little quiet on the “look at me on this reality game show!” front, AKA Prosperity’s Kitchen but that’s because I get shy about things I participate in. And I shouldn’t. Because the more I share, the more publicity it ends up being.

You know, the promotion thing. Marketing. The whole reason a business would even exist.

I exist!

Learning to work ON my business, and not in my business has been tough, but it’s made me grow leaps and bounds and help gain confidence to continue building my business towards reaching the milestones I’ve set in place and beyond.

For some of the points, like networking with professionals 1x a week, I’m already accomplishing. In fact, this week alone has been 3 meetings, and 1 with an advisor from the Prosperity’s Kitchen board who synchronously happens to be based in Manila, like me. The takeaway from that meeting was that your BHAG should be at the forefront of your mind in order to accomplish them, and not this dreamy, wishy-washy far away scary thing that it normally ends up being. Work on your BHAG at least 15 minutes each day to take the small steps towards it. Have focus.

That still doesn’t make building a tropical eco-treehouse wellness resort any less intimidating! But he made me feel I could definitely accelerate that project and that I definitely should.

It’s all about the connections and who you know. And that’s what I need to know more of if I’m going to be successful in any biz.

    Janet – sounds like this project is going awesome and am delighted by your goals – they are big, scary but completely do-able and I actually see you doing them. And this public accountability doesn’t hurt either. haha. you’re going to show us how youre going to get it done so we can also achieve our goals in life.

    keep it up Janet! I feel your blog, career are about to go to a whole nother level of purple – maybe maroon :) ??

    I’m still in tre process of determining my BHAG, but I have started setting SMART goals. These might have to be adjusted once I get my BHAG written down.

    I loved this blog post! Just today I was having a moment where I saw my goal as huge and almost unattainable so I gave myself a talking to and decided that it was more important that I try today and see what I can accomplish with no pressure.
    I managed to add content to my coaching package for when it launches, and also think up, and create a while 7 day mini coaching package for my clients. It’s true what you say, just 15 minutes a day working on your BHAG can make a difference. :)

    I have always valued SMART goals and enjoyed your presentation. I agreed with Amethyst that there were a LOT of clicks to go through the whole presentation, but I actually liked being able to click at my on pace rather than stay on slides that I wasn’t as interested in (since I have done SMART goals for years, I was actually more interested in YOUR goals and your cute pics!) I appreciated your fun approach too. I like to dream boards of my SMART goals to liven them up!
