Did you succeed in achieving your action steps since the last meeting? If yes, please state which action steps you were able to complete. If no, please explain the challenges that you experienced. (If first meeting, write ‘first meeting’ here.):
First Meeting
Please state your goal using the SMART Method: Specific: Avoid generalities! Your goal should have specific details so you know what you are achieving. Measurable: Make sure you have solid criteria for establishing your progress toward your goal. Actionable: You can clearly define action steps towards your goal Rewarding: Your goal must be something that is meaningful and worthwhile. Time Specific: Having specific dates for beginning and finishing goals keeps you on track. Example: “My goal is to receive a Sports Internship by May 1st”:
My goal is to prepare an action plan with a timeline for the preparation of the company consolidated tax return. This includes working with the Federal, State, and international tax teams. This collaboration of teams will provide a timely and efficient tax filing for both the company and our external tax preparers.
Please list the action steps you will take to achieve your goals stated above. These are action steps that will be completed by next meeting. Example: “1. Finish my resume. 2. Talk with my advisor. 3. Submit a sports internship application at two institutions.”:
1. Retrieve the company and tax preparer contact information.
2. Assemble teams that will prepare their respective tax returns.
3. Prepare an agenda with timelines for each work stream.
4. Schedule weekly progress calls with the team leads.
5. Follow up on items discussed during the meetings.
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?:
Listening to the speakers, they all had an underlying message to establish a path toward your goals and overcome obstacles on the way with patience and perseverance.

Great first meeting! Your SMART goal is on the right track. Setting a specific date deadline for your intended goal completion can help to hold you more accountable to your goal. Consider the "how" behind your action steps to help make them more specific and detailed. If you keep the same SMART goal for all three SNT meetings, then you will need to think of new action steps each time. Keep finding the motivation and inspiration to achieve your goal! Looking forward to reading your progress. Remember, SNT meetings must be spaced 1-2 weeks (7-14 days) apart.
