Got a business goal in mind, but not sure how to turn it into a practical plan?

This short lesson explains how to set SMART business goals: goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely.

## What you’ll learn

- How to define a useful 12-month business goal
- Why a clear number and deadline matter
- How to separate the outcome from the actions
- How to identify the drivers most likely to move the goal forward
- How to make progress easier to review

## Watch this if

## What to do next

Choose one business goal for the next 12 months. State it with a clear number and deadline, then write down the practical action most likely to move it forward this quarter.
