Came to your post from Google, just looking for some examples of measurable goal examples to incorporate into a presentation. Excellent. Thanks.

Absolutely being specific helps. Measurement helps when presenting to clients and sometimes they can present for you too.

Hey Matt:

Great series. I am big on goals – and big on making them realistic. Nothing stomps out a goal like being discouraged because they are too difficult to attain.

Looking forward to the rest of your series,

Are Your SMART Goals Measurable?…

What cannot be measured, cannot be managed. Make sure you are setting a SMART goal by making it measurable……

@Tom
I find that once I started using the SMART framework for my own goal setting years ago, my goals have become more focused, clear, concise, and above all followed through on more often. I’ve been a fan for a long time.

It’s great to see more people applying the SMART goals strategy! I have done that with all my blogging goals for next year and posted about it last week!

Nice blog! This is my first time here, but I just heading to subscribe now.

That’s a great point, and one I didn’t touch on in the post…having a quantifiable goal makes it easier to prioritize your goals. You can focus your efforts on the “most bang for your buck” essentially.

Thanks for stopping by,

@AverageGal
You’re right, if you can’t measure it, you never really know if you’ve hit your goal or not. Glad you are liking the series, hope it helps you set a couple goals in the New Year!

Setting measurable goals is so important to be able to quantify the results! I love this series; It’s going to be really helpful for setting goals for the upcoming new year! Thanks for sharing with us!

We started doing this internally for our different projects and having quantifiable goals definitely helps prioritize and focus the work we do.
