1. Specific

  • Define the exact sources of income you’re aiming to grow. Will the 60,000 NTD come from a single job, freelancing, multiple income streams, a business, or a combination?

2. Measurable

  • Set measurable milestones for income growth. For example, if you’re currently earning 30,000 NTD per month, aim to increase your income by 5,000 NTD every month or two until you reach 60,000 NTD.
  • Track your monthly income to see if you're on pace.

3. Achievable

  • Assess if this goal is realistic with your current skills, network, and time commitment. If 60,000 NTD requires taking on 10 clients, for example, consider how many clients you can realistically serve each month.
  • Identify specific steps to make this achievable: What skills do you need? Are there additional certifications, networking, or marketing strategies that will help you reach this goal?

4. Relevant

  • Tie this goal to your broader objectives: Does reaching 60,000 NTD monthly align with your career and lifestyle aspirations? For instance, if your goal is to become a successful entrepreneur, the methods you choose for earning this income should build skills and contacts relevant to that end.

5. Time-Bound

  • Set a deadline for reaching this income level. A reasonable time frame might be six months to one year, depending on your starting point.
  • Example: “I will earn 60,000 NTD per month by July 2025.”

Putting It All Together

SMART Goal: "I will increase my monthly income to 60,000 NTD by July 2025 through a mix of freelancing, personal training services, and content creation. To achieve this, I’ll add 5,000 NTD in monthly income every two months by gaining two new clients per month, improving my social media presence, and reaching out to prospective clients. I will track my income growth monthly to ensure I’m on track."

This SMART goal is clear, actionable, and allows you to focus on measurable steps that can lead you to your target income.
