7. Goal Setting
As a Cookie Captain, it is important to set S.M.A.R.T.
goals to help you ensure success with both your
cookie sales and your project!
S.M.A.R.T Goals are:
S – Specific
M – Measureable
A – Attainable
R – Realistic
T - Timely

8. S
The “S” in S.M.A.R.T. Goals stands
for “Specific”.
Specific is the “What,” Where” and
“Why?” of Setting smart goals.
Think about specific goals when planning your project. What
are you going to do? Host an event? Make a Video?
Where are you going to do your event? In your hometown? In
another town within your service unit?
Why is your project important? Will it make your service unit
better? Will you learn something from doing it?

9. MM stands for measureable.
People have said, if you can’t measure it –
you can’t manage it. Imagine trying to put
together an event and not asking people to
RSVP to let you know they were coming.
What would happen if you had 600 show
up? What would happen if you had 3 people
show up? Do little things like as for an
RSVP, so you know how many people are
coming to make your goal easier to see.

10. A
The “A” stands for Attainable. This is important
in goal setting because you want to stretch your
limits but set yourself up for success. Plan on
your goal stretching you beyond what you
would normally do but something that you can
realistically accomplish in 25 hours
For example: Set a goal to make a 5 minute
movie in 25 hours is attainable. This gives you
time to plan, film your movie and edit. If you are
trying to film a 2 and a ½ hour movie, you
wouldn’t have time to write the script and film,
let alone finish the whole movie.

11. R “R” stands for realistic.
If you think about it, do you think it’s
possible to get all of your service hours in
a week? Is it possible to sell 10,000 cookies
by yourself door to door? This is where the
“R” in SMART comes in.
Set goals that you know you can achieve,
but keep the bar high. You’ll feel better
about your project if you have done
something that pushed you to try new
things.

12. T “T” stands for timely
Timely goals are important. We all know how easy it to is
to say we are going to do something and then start putting
it off and putting it off. Then suddenly, its due tomorrow!
For your goal to happen, its important to keep your
timeline in mind. Remember when hours cards are due
(April 1st
) and plan your time line accordingly.
Remember to keep the rest of your life in mind too. It can
be hard to find the time to do service hours if you have a
huge test coming up.
