How to Set a SMART Goal for Your 30-Day Challenge

Aug '25 • 📣

Yesterday I announced the 💥 Scattered to Focused 🎯 30-Day challenge starting September 1st!

A few people mentioned to me that they didn't know what to set as their goal. So I wanted to make a post sharing exactly how to set a SMART goal that aligns with your life!

What is a SMART goal? Glad you asked!

S - Specific

M - Measurable

A - Achievable

R - Relevant

T - Time-bound

Let's break it down...

1. Specific

The goal is clear and precise, not vague.

Example: Instead of “I want to get healthier,” say “I will work out at the gym three times per week.”

2. Measurable

There’s a way to track progress or know when it’s done.

Example: “Increase monthly revenue by $3,000” is measurable; “make more money” is not.

3. Achievable

The goal is realistic and within reach, given time, skills, and resources.

Example: “Sign 2 new clients this month” is achievable; “Sign 200 clients this month” likely isn’t (unless you're a superboss, which if you're in this group is entirely possible 😜).

4. Relevant

The goal aligns with your broader vision and priorities. It matters.

Example: If your vision is to grow your coaching practice, then “improving client retention” is relevant; “learning Italian” might be great, but not relevant to that business outcome. But it might be relevant to your life if you're going to Italy!

5. Time-bound

The goal has a deadline, which creates urgency and focus.

Example: “Publish 8 blog posts in 60 days” instead of “publish blog posts regularly.” This is built-in to the challenge. You have 30 days!

SMART goal example for an ADHD entrepreneur:

“I will book 8 discovery calls with qualified prospects in the next 30 days by sending 5 personalized outreach messages every weekday.”

Specific: book discovery calls
Measurable: 8 calls
Achievable: 5 outreach/day is doable
Relevant: directly tied to business growth
Time-bound: 30 days

But what about the "aligns with your life" part? Again... glad you asked 😉

The purpose of this challenge is to help you build momentum in your life in a way that feels good and creates real progress towards your dreams and desires. It CAN be a business goal (and many will use it for that—I am!). But it doesn't have to be.

Here are some ideas of goals you can set for this 30-day challenge:

🎯 Make a regular gym/fitness routine (muy importante!)

🎯 Do regular outreach to generate more sales

🎯 Stick to a consistent social media posting schedule

🎯 Improve your diet by adding healthy stuff or removing unhealthy stuff

🎯 Improve your mental health by adding routines like yoga, meditation, movement, time in nature, etc.

Here is my 💥 Scattered to Focused 🎯 goal:

I will finalize the next launch of the Focus Founders Accelerator in the first 10 days by refining our "grand slam" offer and our program outline. In the next 20 days, the rest of the challenge my goal will be to book 10 sales calls per week (30 total).

I will know when I've achieved this because I will A) have a document clearly outlining our program and offer, and B) have booked 30 sales calls!

To further assist y'all, I've taken the liberty of SMART-ifying some people's goals that they commented on the post announcing the challenge. Feel free to use what I've shared below, or refine it to make it your own!
