It is officially a new year! If you haven’t already, you should begin to set some goals for 2023. Everyone has different methods to setting goals and how they will achieve them. However, a method I like to use is the SMART goals methods. These letters stand for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. When setting goals, you want to be clear as to what you want to achieve.  Measurable means however you want to hold yourself accountable.  The achievable portion means that you are making a realistic goal for yourself. Relevant just means that goal makes sense. Lastly, time-bound means that you set a timeline for your the goals you are setting. With that being said, if you are planning to start a clothing brand; instead of saying “I want to start a clothing brand.” You could use the SMART goal method instead and say “I want to create a street wear clothing brand that will be released in May 2023.” This goal holds you accountable and gives you a timeline to work with while you are working towards your goals.
