SMART Goals

After watching the video about SMART goals, I had a whole new outlook on the goals that I made for myself in the past. I had to reevaluate some things. I looked over the goals that I had and knew I had to make some changes. The goals that I had made for myself a few years ago were realistic but I didn’t have a set time frame to complete them.

One of my goals right now is to earn my degree in accounting, more specifically tax accounting.
My goal of wanting to become a tax accountant is a little more specific than just wanting to earn my degree in accounting. At first, I only wanted to earn an accounting degree but I didn’t do any research for it. I didn’t know it was so many different fields I could go into.

I already started working on it and I can’t wait until I finish. I am truly motivated now. One thing that has motivated me to go back to school and earn my degree is me working as a tax preparer. I know that I can do more in my profession and I have the potential to succeed. My best friend is also a good motivator for me. He helps me stay on top of my course work and he believes that I can do it. My clients also unknowingly motivate me. I will be able to expand my clientele once I become an

    Honestly, while I was getting the smart and focus two assignment done I imagined myself setting up different types of goals and not achieving any of them. The reason I predicted this was because usually when set an objective for myself it usually backfires as a result of me not being very motivated. Nevertheless, I gave these tasks a chance to hopefully learn new strategies for the future to manage my academic and, in the long run, my career. In addition while I usually fail at achieving my goal I hoped that this new strategy would help me create a more realistic goal.…
