Effective goal setting will allow you to visualize your goal in your mind and the required steps to making that happen.

The desired goal or objective is often referred to as an ‘outcome’. By classifying our goals as outcomes, will help distinguish between where you are now and where you really want to be.

By setting outcomes we typically achieve a change in mindset; one that is more focused on what we want to achieve.

When setting goals, they are typically long-term outcomes. Therefore, it can be difficult to measure the small changes or progress towards these larger more significant goals, and many people can get side-tracked or lost by not understanding how to track this progress.
