4th quarter is just about upon us. Let’s wrap it up the year with a bang so we can move into 2019 with an even bigger bang. One way to do this is by planning now for the next and final quarter of the year.
We want to ensure what your goals for this last quarter will benefit you in the best way so you can become better than yesterday. After all, if we are not better than we were the day before, what’s the point?
There are a few things you must remember when planning your goals. You want to make SMART goals! How many have you make SMART goals? Or do you just make random goals? Here is how you make SMART goals:
- S – Specific (or Significant)
- M – Measurable (or Meaningful)
- A – Attainable (or Action-Oriented)
- R – Relevant (or Rewarding)
- T – Time bound (or Trackable)
Additional Tips:
- Be precise
- Set priorities
- Write goals down
Here are some of my 4th quarter goals (pending the healing from my knee surgery):

- Publish a poetry book
- Plan my vision for 2019
- Host a vision board party
- Find an accountability partner or two
- Partner up with other entrepuners
- Complete a few projects that are already in the works
- Hard push for my reading goal (especially while I’m recovering)
- Increase my social media presence and engagement
- Add some much needed ‘me time’ (need it during the holiday season)
- Start on my personal goals early
- Focus Focus Focus Focus
What are some of the fourth quarter goals? What can I do to help? Can we collaborate on any of those?
