I love the dare. They are questions asked by most of the coaches. :)
I just reached my goal that I had for the last three years. I coached 750 hours with 25+ clients. Therefore, I was certified by the International Coach Federation as a Professional Certified Coach.
Three years ago, I was short of 600 hours. I had my yearly goal of 200-hour coaching and have been on top of my goals. I think SMART model is a good way to design goals and action plans. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely.
I continue to use the model for 2008 goal setting and it works for me.
Setting goals is a very important element for a successful business. And it's not too late. It's only April! :)
