$$Write a list of your Strategic Goals and explain their relationship with your purpose and

vision. These statements would serve as the foundation for your own Strategic Plan, so think

them carefully. Your strategic goals should at least make reference to your financial objectives,

your career, and life pursuits, classify them according to what they make reference to

What are Strategic goals?

Broad in scope: Unlike tactical or operational goals, which often focus on specific tasks

or short

level and long

term outcomes.

Future

$-$

oriented: Strategic goals focus on desired future states or outcomes, pushing you

forward.

Motivating: Strategic goals inspire and engage. They provide a sense of purpose and

direction.

Measurable: Though they are broad, strategic goals are quantifiable in some way so that

progress toward achieving them can be tracked.

Realistic yet challenging: Strategic goals are achievable, given your resources and

constraints, but they are also demanding enough to drive performance.

Aligned with your purpose and vision: Strategic goals directly support the your core

purpose and vision

$.$

Limited in number: Shouldn't have too many strategic goals at once. A handful is

enough.

Long

$-$

term: Strategic goals typically span multiple years, though the exact time frame can

vary depending on your reality and the context of it

Examples:

Purpose: My purpose would be to get the best out of anyone who is related to me

$.$

$($

as you can

tell this is broad enough, and extremely difficult to achieve keeping itself alive for a lifetime

Vision: Getting the best out of anyone related to me has always fulfilled me

$$I believe it will

cover all the dimensions of my life

$($

family

$,$

$$work$,$ place where I live, etc.

$)$

$.$

$$I think that if I try to

get the best out of the people that relate to me

$,$

$$I will be well appreciated socially, people will

trust me at work and in overall life, will help me to surround myself with a network of good

people, and ultimately will help me to achieve my strategic goals.

this is a personal view of how

is that the purpose would lead me to get wherever I want to be

fulfilled life
