As I think about the year ahead, I wonder if you have published articles about goal setting specifically for people working in the payments industry. I've left college because I want to get more work experience before I settle on a major. I've done academic goal setting but none for anything job related.

Abby,
It's great that you have experience with goal setting. You've already learned things about the process that will translate directly to your professional career. In "Work SMARTER, not harder," published in this issue of The Green Sheet, Natasa Cvijanovic, co-founder and CEO of Tesla Payments, shared an acronym that encapsulates the qualities effective goals should have. You might already be familiar with it: SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic or Relevant, and Timely). Civjanovic expanded the acronym to SMARTER (adding Evaluation and Revision) for even greater success.
