This is what is needed when goal setting – POSITIVE AND INFECTIOUS ENERGY, EXCITEMENT AND ENTHUSIASM The goal setting template that I absolutely love and really align with is Brendon Burchard’s DUMB goals! I love Brendon’s energy, excitement and enthusiasm when explaining what DUMB goals are. I prefer timelines to be flexible and changeable with an awareness that everything mostly unfolds in its own time, if we have the patience to allow this.

Goals may be relevant today and irrelevant tomorrow and so only setting relevant goals also feels limiting to me. This is another part of SMART that I don’t align with.

I have used SMART but I never fully aligned with it, I always felt it was limiting and wasn’t creative enough. SMART is used universally across the globe and is well known in the world of strategy as a popular goal setting template.
