Without SMART, you’re going to have a very difficult time putting an actual plan in place you can execute and measure. 2. [...] We all have Brilliant Ideas from time to time. I’ve found the main reason that I don’t follow up on them is forgetfulness. They slip my mind and I don’t follow up. Often times I see other people do the same thing and I think awe nutts, I should’ve done that. On that note my [...] I was the guest instructor at a school recently and there was one particular student who was sweeping the floor when I came in and obviously the janitor of the day.
