In other words: Specific goals that are clear, unambiguous; Measurable to assess its growth; Achievable.

2) Knowing the current value of your business: You need to know where you are today to define where you want to go. You need to calculate the current value of your business to understand how much profit you must generate per year and per month. For example, if your business has a value of $1,000,000 (assets, know – how, customer base) your annual net profit should be $200,000 to $300,000. You are taking this as a goal, you will achieve precisely what you will require to do to generate an adequate return each month and generate this result at the end of each year. But something very important, you must measure your results week to week.
