Are you on track to accomplish your goals?

[Tyler Wehrung]

I debated posting this in "Success Stories" as I am only 20% of the way to my goal of $5,000 a month in cash flow by March 2021 (My 5-year goal that I established last March).  I decided to post here anyway since I typically come to this forum looking for motivation, aspiration, and to feed off of the success of others.  A lot of people I talk to have goals of having "a lot" of money, "decent" cash flow, retiring "early".  The common theme here is that they're not SMART! (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-bound)

Having SMART goals will give you a roadmap to where you want to be, provide instant feedback on progress, and allow you to measure and project your future to design the lifestyle of your choice.  I'm a visual person, so I built a simple, but powerful chart that I look at every day that shows my progress towards my goal.  I attached a picture below and if anyone is interested I will share the excel document with you to tailor it to your needs.  I wish you all success!
