this is quite interesting for me as I am building my company. And you are correct, a SMART goal only describes the desired outcome, but not how to get there. Yes, it should be "attainabale", but that does not describe the how. "Am I still moving", instead of "Did I arrive" is a brilliant rewiring of the thinking.
I love you had a take away. Seems so simple, but really took me to another level when I looked at it this way. Thanks for reading and being on the journey. What stage would you say you’re at with the company you’re building?
Veeeery early, but out in the world. I guess in startup speech (which I am not familiar with at all) that is not early. A small amount of paying users and slowly but steadily growing.
In US start up terms that is Pre-seed stage lol. You’ve validated your idea, and trying to figure out what function maximizes customer satisfaction and creates word of mouth growth.
"What kind of person sustains this five years from now? Describe them. How do they think? What have they learned? What do they believe about themselves and their work that they didn’t believe before?"
