How to Use This Template

1. Choose up to 3 goals — Focus is your superpower. More than 3 goals is not a strategy, it's a wish list.
2. Complete all 5 SMART criteria — If you can't answer all five, the goal needs more clarity before you pursue it.
3. Fill in accountability — Goals without accountability systems are just intentions.
4. Review monthly — Pull this template out on the 1st of every month and assess your progress honestly.

Goal #1

Complete all five SMART criteria below

Goal Title (one clear sentence)

Specific

What exactly do you want to accomplish? Be precise.

e.g. Increase monthly recurring revenue from $8K to $15K by acquiring 5 new coaching clients.

Measurable

How will you track and measure success?

e.g. Track MRR weekly in my financial dashboard. Success = $15K MRR by the target date.

Achievable

Why is this realistic given your current resources and capacity?

e.g. I currently close 2 of every 5 discovery calls. With 3 more calls per week, I can hit 5 new clients in 90 days.

Relevant

Why does this goal matter to your larger vision?

e.g. Reaching $15K MRR lets me hire my first VA, freeing 10 hours/week for content and business development.

Time-Bound

What is your specific deadline?

e.g. Achieve by September 30, 2026. Monthly checkpoint on the 1st of each month.

Accountability Plan

Who will I share this goal with?

How often will I review my progress?

What obstacle is most likely to derail me?

How will I handle that obstacle if it occurs?

What will I celebrate when I achieve this goal?
