Measurable, Achievable/ Attainable, Realistic and Timely. Now many of us are confused with our career and the same would happen when it comes to choose after passing class XII.
It's time to have a SMART plan or our aims and objectives needs to be SMART if we want to achieve success in life. It is not only the way but one of the helpful if we plan well. Our planning needs to be specific and we need to know where it leads us.
Measurable means it would help us in measuring our progress and success related to our plan or aims and objectives. We need to think according to our strengths and weaknesses.
A good SWOT analysis is always important and crucial for us when we are choosing our career path. One of the most important factors is the time.
Whatever planning we make, we must make sure that we follow time and make the plan so that we can achieve it within a time period. To measure the progress and success we can keep some indicator.
