S.M.A.R.T. Moves for Success

Rarely does the scoreboard tell the whole story. In fact, the outcome of many evenly matched athletic events often is decided by one opponent competing just a little bit better than the other - a phenomenon commonly referred to as a competitive advantage. 
 
The competitive advantage also is what separates a good company from a great one.     
 
Attaining the competitive advantage in sports and business relies on the ability to continually move performance to higher levels. Successful coaches and business leaders understand that winning requires a strategy of carefully planning, setting and reaching hundreds of small goals.
 
I recommend revisiting your short- and long-term goals and evaluating them based on the S.M.A.R.T. criteria:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Reasonable
• Timely

S.M.A.R.T. goals will keep you and your team focused and on the right path to success. Stay competitive by analyzing each opportunity and identifying what it takes to move your business ahead.

was intrigued by your wellness materials and your. life/work balance. What is unfortunate in both is you have nothing in mental health wellness, which affects life/work and personal and business wellness. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, we aid people daily in helping them restore mental health balance, and all the new research in medicine now out there supports this. When we refuse to take care of our mental health it gets in the way daily of our business success. Few business publications seem interested in this. Also, if you fail to make your balance at home successful, it affects your business, that is why the divorce rate is as high as it is in Iowa, and across the nation. How about added information on mental health balance.
