How To Achieve & Set S.M.A.R.T Goals?

How To Achieve & Set S.M.A.R.T Goals
How To Achieve & Set S.M.A.R.T Goals

Goals are essential for professional as well as personal life. Without concrete plans, you are essentially shooting in the dark. You are putting in effort without having a goal and destination in mind. And with December looming just around the corner, the year 2022 is at its end. It is that time when business leaders must examine how productively they have spent their time to identify the situations where improvements can be made on both personal and professional fronts.

It is also the time to set new goals and define a blueprint for the forthcoming campaign of your life and implement a plan to accomplish a better version of yourself. S.M.A.R.T goals can help you to focus and re-evaluate goals as needed.

So what are S.M.A.R.T goals and how can you set them?

S.M.A.R.T = Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

These five aspects together create S.M.A.R.T goals.  A goal that has a specific purpose, can be measured, is realistic to achieve, relevant, and can be attained within a time frame is a SMART goal. Without all aspects, you might be goal-setting, but not effectively creating a plan for success.

You can also learn from Dr. Vivek Bindra- the best motivational speaker in India how to set goals and achieve them in this video: 

Let’s take a closer look at the five elements of S.M.A.R.T. goals:

  1.   SPECIFIC

A goal that is easy to understand can be attained. For instance, it could be a sales number or a product roll-out goal. No matter what the goal is, it should be clearly articulated so that everyone is on the same page with the objective. Define the outcome and the steps that need to be taken to accomplish the goal.

  1. MEASURABLE

Your goals need to have a quantifiable objective so that you can track progress. Define what will be the factors that will be used to measure the goal and set a method for tracking the progress.

  1.   ACHIEVABLE

Setting big goals is good. But they need to be realistic as well to maintain the momentum to try to achieve them. Also, you may want to break big goals into smaller, bite-sized chunks. If the goal is not doable, you will have to look for resources that will make your journey to achieve goals easier.

  1. RELEVANT

Goals should be relevant i.e. they should be aligned with the mission of the company. One way to find out if your goal is relevant is to figure out what are the benefits of these goals.

  1. TIME- BOUND

A goal without a deadline is just mundane work. Goals should have a deadline. And unless you set a final date, you can’t identify the success or failure of your goals.

As a business owner, evaluate these key facets of your life when creating goals this year:

1. Professional Life

Before setting goals, evaluate your professional life from various angles. How can you make the company better? What more can be done to upskill your employees or colleagues? Spend time reflecting on your past year’s achievements and lessons that you have learned during the course. See how you can improve in the year ahead.

You can also hire a business coach to look for new approaches to grow your business. Strive to implement new strategies that will allow you to overcome existing challenges.

2. Personal Life

When reviewing your personal goals, you may want to look at relationships with family, friends, clients, customers, colleagues, and employees. Find where you need to make adjustments to become the best version of yourself for them. Focus on the main components of your life, such as health, finances, and growth.

Benefits of S.M.A.R.T Goals

There are a lot of benefits to setting S.M.A.R.T goals. Some of them are given below:

i). It helps you to set an objective.

ii). It motivates you to succeed.

iii). It will force you to step out of your comfort zone.

These 10 Books Recommended By Elon Musk Will Open A Whole New World Of Knowledge!

10 Books Recommended By Elon Musk
10 Books Recommended By Elon Musk

“A book can be your best friend.” Sometimes it can be your peaceful escape, while other times it can take you to a world, where you have never been before. A book can give you a fresh new perspective, open your mind, and give wings to your imagination. It can throw light in the darkest corners of your mind by making you aware of various aspects of the world.

Many successful millionaires read books. In an interview, Bill Gates mentioned that he is very fond of reading and reads around fifty books per year. And Elon Musk who is the brilliant mind behind Tesla and SpaceX is no exception.

Whenever Musk is asked about how he learned to build rockets, he says, “by reading books.” Not only this genius reads them but also devours them. Musk has a personal library and offers some recommendations of his own.

Here are the top 10 books recommended by Elon Musk:

1. Life 3.0: Being Human in the age of Artificial Intelligence| By Max Tegmark

Will superhuman intelligence be our slave, or become our god? What will the future look like? Taking us to the heart of the latest thinking about AI, Max Tegmark, the MIT professor whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial, separates myths from reality, and utopias from dystopias, to explore the next phase of our existence.

How automation can help us grow our prosperity, without leaving people lacking income or purpose? How can we ensure that future AI systems do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning, or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will AI help life flourish as never before, or will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, and even, perhaps, replace us altogether?

2. Twelve Against the Gods| By William Bolitho

Encompassing the timeless values of perseverance, bravery, and strength of spirit; this book consists of essays that are nearly one hundred years old but still that have proven to resonate with the pioneers and thought leaders of today.

In this book, author William Bolitho details the lives of twelve great adventurers — Alexander the Great, Casanova, Mahomet, Christopher Columbus, Lola Montez, Charles XII of Sweden, Cagliostro (and Seraphina), Napoleon I, Lucius Sergius Catiline, Isadora Duncan, Napoleon III, and Woodrow Wilson. He also demonstrates the struggles and successes that made these iconic figures famous.

3. Screw Business As Usual | By Richard Branson

It’s a vibrant and definite sea change from the way business was always done, when financial profit was a driving force. Today, people aren’t afraid to say, Screw business as usual!-and show they mean it. Richard Branson is one of the world’s most famous and admired business leaders. He argues in his book that it is time to turn capitalism upside down-to shift our values from an exclusive focus on profit to also caring for people, communities, and the planet.

4. Waiting for Godot| By Samuel Beckett

‘Waiting for Godot’ is a valuable book that begins with a summary of the play and its origins and editions. It then explores the play’s meaning and the historical and intellectual contexts informing Beckett’s work. The book then examines Beckett’s dramatic art and gives full coverage of the play’s performance history. A bibliographical essay surveys the most important critical studies.

5. Howard Hughes | By Donald L. Barlett

Whether he was courting public attention in the roles of aviator, playboy, and entrepreneur, or shunning it as a recluse, Howard Hughes commanded headlines throughout his career. Yet the image of his life, his power, and his business empire that caught the public imagination was almost completely false. This book revolves around his life, revealing the multiple layers page by page, taking its readers closer to the reality of his life.

6. Super Intelligence | By Nick Bostrom

Human beings are blessed with some of the most amazing capabilities that the other species on this planet lack. It is these capabilities that put humans in a more dominant position. Where other animals have stronger muscles and sharper claws, humans possess the ability to think with their cleverer brains. Read the book and learn about genies, oracles, singletons, and a lot more intricate concepts.

7. Benjamin Franklin | By Walter Isaacson

Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who seems made of flesh rather than marble. In a sweeping narrative in this book that follows Franklin’s life from Boston to Philadelphia to London and Paris and back, Walter Isaacson chronicles the adventures of the runaway apprentice who became, over the course of his eighty-four-year life, America’s best writer, inventor, media baron, scientist, diplomat, and business strategist, as well as one of its most practical and ingenious political leaders.

8. The Machine Stops | By E.M Forster

The Machine Stops” is a science fiction short story (12,300 words) by E. M. Forster. After initial publication in The Oxford and Cambridge Review (November 1909), the story was republished in Forster’s The Eternal Moment and Other Stories in 1928. It was voted as one of the best novels in 1965.

9. Steve Jobs | By Walter Isaacson

Walter Isaacson tells the story of the rollercoaster life and intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

10. The Life of Greece | By Will Durant

A history of Greek civilization from the beginnings, and of civilization in the Near East from the Death of Alexander to the Roman Conquest of Greece!

Inspiration can be anywhere! And if you want to be a successful entrepreneur reading could be a great way to increase your knowledge and awareness. These 10 books recommended by Elon Musk should be on your reading list.

5 Best Places To Find A Business Coach

5 Best Places To Find A Business Coach
5 Best Places To Find A Business Coach

Summary: Wondering where to find a perfect business coach for your startup? Here is a list of the five best places where you can start. You are guaranteed to be surprised!

Are you looking for a business coach or a mentor? If you are a young entrepreneur and lack experience in running a business successfully, you should start looking for the right mentor. Working with the right mentor provides plenty of benefits. Not only will you receive guidance and support from an expert, but you will also be able to leverage your mentor`s network of contacts. This may help you in finding new investors, making new clients, and finding more business.

However, the real trouble is finding the right mentor which is quite difficult. Mentoring is a time-consuming process. And, not all experience business owners will invest their time and effort to help budding entrepreneurs.

So where you can find a business mentor who is willing to invest his time and provide guidance to you? Here are some of the places to start:

1. Online Mentorship Community

Though there are multiple social media platforms, none of them are dedicated to only entrepreneurs where they can find the right business coach or connect with potential mentors. Bada Business Community App is an example. With usually little or no cost, you’ll be able to sign up, find prospective mentors in your area of expertise, chat with them and potentially meet in person to begin an extended partnership.

2. Professional Networking Events

Before hiring a business coach, always communicate with them. To initiate a conversation with prospective mentors, you can attend more networking events. Business leaders are always looking for prospective clients, employees, or partners for the future. At such events, you can meet many different areas and expand your network.

3. Fitness Classes & Groups

Business leaders often like to stay healthy and fit. This is why you will frequently find them in fitness classes and other related groups. You too can join Yoga or meditation classes. From there, you can participate regularly and improve your networking along with making your networking strong.

4. Industry Events

If you are looking for a mentor related to a particular field, there is no better place to go than business events. These events include webinars, seminars, conferences, tradeshows, and informal meet-ups. For instance, a few months back Dr. Vivek Bindra organized an event that aimed to enhance leadership skills.

The event was attended by many senior management leaders and successful billionaires. This event presented many opportunities for young entrepreneurs to connect with seasoned leaders.

5. Social Media

You can find mentors by searching for them on social media — especially through publicly available platforms like Twitter or professional-centric platforms like LinkedIn and BB community. With keyword searches, you’ll be able to find mentors that match your criteria, and by monitoring followers and engagement levels, you can determine a person’s reputation and willingness to talk with others.

Never lead with an outright request. Get to know your hoped-for mentor first; and, if you can, offer something of value to begin the relationship.

So, now that you know exactly where you can find a mentor, you may wonder whether it`s necessary to have a mentor in the first place. After all, so many people have become successful without a formal mentorship. But truth to be told, everybody has somebody to learn from. Hence, finding a best business coach can be beneficial for your professional as well as personal growth.

The idea of managing a business is easier said than done and we completely agree with you. This is why to help you move forward with your business goals, we at Bada Business offer an exclusive Business Coaching Program that comes with Foundation courses, specialized courses, and value-added courses.

7 Essential Traits For All Successful Entrepreneurs

7 Essential Traits For All Successful Entrepreneurs
7 Essential Traits For All Successful Entrepreneurs

Vision, focus, and determination- these three qualities can take entrepreneurs anywhere they want to go. They also have good leadership skills and can be a great motivational coach to peers around them.

Whether it is the most respected industrialist like RatanTata or a great businessman like Dhirubhai Ambani, every successful entrepreneur has a few critical attributes that can help thousands of business leaders, as well as the young entrepreneurs of India, succeed.

Here is a list of 7 essential traits that every entrepreneur must have to be successful:

1. Problem Solving

One of the most essential qualities that every entrepreneur who is planning to start a startup business must have is the ability to solve problems. “Having a mindset that is capable to think critically about various issues at hand is an amazing trait”, says Dr. Vivek Bindra- one of the most popular business motivational speakers in India.

The most successful entrepreneurs always go above and beyond to find solutions and get their job done while keeping calm under pressure.

2. Impeccable Communication

As an entrepreneur, you are required to meet new people for networking purposes and other requirements. You will accomplish little to nothing if you lack good communication skills. It is necessary to express oneself clearly and concisely, which can often make the difference between an ordinary and extraordinarily professional.  If you are an introvert, you can also take professional help from a business coach to excel in this as well as other departments.

3. Determination to become Successful

Failure is the stepping stone to success. And only those who have tasted the failure with a pinch of salt can appreciate—determination. Running a business does not necessarily mean that everything will be all rosy. There will be setbacks, challenges, and hurdles too. But a successful entrepreneur does not let anything stop them from achieving their goals.

It does not matter how many times an entrepreneur fails, his determination to succeed overpowers each failure and makes it appear like a minor setback.

4. Hunger to Keep Learning

The world of business is always evolving. Sometimes it’s a new tool, other times it’s a new technology that can help a business to grow. A successful entrepreneur keeps himself updated with the latest trends and networks with like-minded people to form professional relationships.

To be successful in your niche, take some time each week to reflect on what new they have learned about the business industry. Also, decide if there is any way that you can implement this new piece of knowledge into your business for growth. With continuous learning, you can get closer to your organizational goals.

5. Powerful Leadership Skills

While leadership attributes are important for everyone, they become necessary for entrepreneurs who are running their businesses. If an entrepreneur lacks leadership skills, his or her team will not be able to perform to the best of their capabilities.

6. Passion & Ambition

Passion and ambition are what drives an entrepreneur to do what they do every day. Starting a startup involves a lot of risks and is not for the faint-hearted. This is why entrepreneurs need to be passionate about what they are doing.

7. Ability to Look at a Larger Picture

To launch a new product or service, extensive research is required. Sometimes in this process, disregarding assumptions about what currently exists in the market is necessary. To meet the expectations and demands of consumers, it is necessary to shake off the traditional pattern and embrace innovative products, even if it means unlearning current beliefs.

Life doesn`t always go according to the plan, but there are plenty of ways to achieve desired results with consistency, persistence, and perseverance. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur you need to cultivate these traits within you.

The idea of managing a business is easier said than done and we completely agree with you. This is why to help you move forward with your business goals, we at Bada Business offer an exclusive Business Coaching Program for Entrepreneurs that comes with Foundation courses, specialized courses, and value-added courses.
