Setting objectives in a corporation is an essential part of the planning process. It gives purpose and motivation to work hard so as to achieve success. In order to set up your business, you should consider creating SMART goals. There are several reasons why it is important for companies to have SMART goals.

1. Clarity and focus: One of the benefits of setting SMART goals in business is that they help business owners get rid of confusion and focus on what really matters. This means that by defining specific and measurable objectives, you can easily monitor progress at any given time.

2. Motivation and engagement levels go up: By providing a clear vision and compelling future, SMART goals increase motivation and make employees more engaged with the company’s vision. Such understanding helps the personnel be motivated in realizing that their roles are in line with expectations thus increasing productivity towards reaching set targets.

3. Performance measurement aspects: These goals can be measured allowing progress tracking as well as performance evaluation without much hustle; hence assisting one know where improvement is necessary which may call for some strategy adjustments.

4. Increased Productivity: Providing a clear roadmap to success, realistic achievable goals tend to enhance productivity within an organization since workers know what they have to do so that they attain their objectives

 

[Etini]

There is one religious saying that says that a people perish for lack of vision. Any organisation that doesn't have SMART goals is like leading people on a path that has no goal, aim and just riding on circumstances.

When people set business goals, they make the mistake of setting unrealistic and bogus goals. Dream big but don't chase pipe dreams unless you would be expending valuable energy without any tangible achievement.

And it is very wrong for any business to have goals that is measurable. You would clearly know when you are making progress even if it is baby steps. That alone can keep you motivated.
