Goal Setting To Goal Achievement In 7 Easy Steps! (Udemy.com)

The course could have been done in half the time, with fewer slides and a lot fewer words. It is a pretty basic subject and while some people are not great or even good at setting true goals, the course did not go into so much depth that two hours were needed. The follow up email from the presenter is poorly written beginning with Your instead of You're and missing punctuation throughout.

I believe there is some good information within this course, for anyone new to SMART goal setting they will invariably take away something. Steve's appearance in the lectures is both smart and professional, however, I did find that the speed in which Steve spoke was at times sometimes hard to keep up with and by the time I had got to the second section I had noticed that there was a lot more talk than there really needed to be for the subject matter. There are, at the time of writing, only two quizzes and each has only two questions, this could really do with expanding. There are some examples that are used within the course which get repeated and repeated over and over again. Just too much talk. I do like the split screen effect that Steve has used within the video content, it is nice to be able to see your instructor on some courses where relevant, I think with less words this would be perfect for this course, I wonder though if Steve were to remove himself from the video and watch it himself with effectively just narration and slides whether he may also agree. I believe Steve has a very good knowledge of the subject matter but I felt as if the course had turned into more of a casual presentation at times, in front of an audience, rather than the one-to-one tuition I had expected. I would happily re-review this course and increase the rating if some changes were made with regards to the quantity of talking over information given, additional on screen examples and additional/expanded quizzes. Some additional resources may be of benefit also, there was reference to spreadsheets/apps as tools that could be used, but no examples were given as to which tools may be of use (MindMapping applications, Trello, Axosoft and so on). Steve, thank you for putting this course together and I do feel bad in a sense for making criticisms when you have offered this course for free, however the feedback I have given is provided in both a sincerely and I hope it may help to build upon this or further courses in the future. All the best, Rob

This course is an absolute must and should be thought to kids at a young age in schools also. If I had learned these simple steps 30 years ago, my life would of been a heck of a lot different. Thank you so much for the opportunity to learn from you. Thank you. Rob

well, as it was said, ''life is lived best when you set yourself with a goal''-nido quiben. if you are looking for ways to set a smart goals and achieve your future dreams then this course is for you. it helps one to distinguish between smart goals and minor goals. guides one with the processes involve and to measure ones successes.

Well-paced, insightful and probably the best balanced interpretation of the (many!) SMART processes I have come across over many years. The 'A' understanding is pivotal to turning an otherwise academic exercise into a commitment. A worthy investment of time and generously gifted and presented by Mr Ballinger.

The changes in the SMART acronym, that the teacher taught in this course, has completely changed my outlook on SMART goals. I have been trying to implement SMART goals for many years, but I wouldn't get past the A, because it seemed redundant or pointless. Now that I have completed the course, I understand why that was a problem and the change has already allowed me to complete a short term goal in less than 48 hours! That is a big result for a class that took just over an hour. Thank you!

I've been setting goals for myself for a long time, but I started to notice that not many of them have been met. I found myself in a rut, which is why I decided to take this course. I'm so glad I did, and so excited to start living a life where every day is a step towards achieving my goals! Thanks for the amazing course =)

This has been my first experience with online course and with Udemy ofcourse. This course has been really helpful and am looking forward to act on the steps suggested by Steve. Kudos to Steve for sharing such easy, precise & clear steps. Towards a new beginning, atleast for me :)

This is the only course that I've completed on Udemy out of many that I've purchased. Many of the "instructor's" on Udemy SHOULD NOT teach. Steve isn't one of them. He is a great teacher and he has a great style of teaching that I immediately connected with. He was not boring and the course was the perfect length and time. I enjoyed this course as I want to focus on achieving more of my desires in life and I know setting SMART goals is the way to go. Take this course and complete it. I'm going to watch it several times.

I enjoyed this quick overview of SMART goal-setting. It is most appropriate for beginners or for a review to people that have done some goal-setting, but need a refresher to tighten up their practice. I would have liked to see more interaction and invitation to actually do a bit of hands on goal setting. For a free course, this would be a bit time consuming for the instructor however. That's the only reason I did not give 5 stars... the lack of discussion and interaction is understandable. But for sure, the info is solid and helpful. Thanks Steve!
