For each DQ elaborate within 260-300 words. Use in text citations accordingly. Use scholarly reference(s) along with the one(s) attached as well.
DQ 1) Why is goal setting so critical to personal and professional success? What makes a goal more likely to be accomplished? Be sure to integrate expert sources from the assigned readings or from your own research.
DQ 2) Refer to the Smart Goal resources. List one short- and long-term professional and career goal (four total), along with practical sub steps to achieve them. Be sure to include dates. What might be some potential challenges for each? How can you prevent some of these foreseeable hurdles? ***My long-term career goal I have chosen is to become a Psychology Professor for a University.
