What are some common challenges in implementing SMART goals?

Some common challenges in implementing SMART goals include setting unrealistic goals, lack of clarity in goals, lack of commitment, and lack of monitoring and evaluation. It's also challenging to eliminate unprofitable or useless tasks and to keep up with new advances and technologies that can improve the business approach.

This question was asked on:

Use SMART goals to evaluate your career or venture from various angles. Reflect on the previous year results to see how you can do better in the year ahead, then ask yourself: What can be improved? What measures can be taken to advance in these areas? Then set your SMART goals. "Eliminate to-do items that you tested and proved to be unprofitable or useless. Also, look at new advances and technologies that you expect to improve your business approach. Strive to implement items that will allow you to overcome existing challenges deemed unattainable in the past; this is a concrete path for sustained growth," Tropea says.
