Here is a warning: your employer is going to set goals for you, as the video shows. They are not always directly financial to the business, but they might be to you. Make sure these don't throw a wrench in your personal goals, or your morals. My last employer required 10 hours of volunteer work a week for one of the non-profits they support. The one before that required an additional certification every six months and would only reimburse a passing test. They would also not reimburse yearly continuing education costs on those certifications.
A cautionary tale: In the US, financial advisors are sometimes given sweetheart deals by firms as a sign on. This is usually in the form of a loan that is forgiven over five consecutive years of working at the firm. This loan is meant for financial advisors to invest and demonstrate to their clients that the products they recommend are also products they invest in. The corporate mores tell a different tale, and that is clients expect a financial advisors to look successful. Nice suits, a nice car, a nice house, a golf club membership, a wife and kids, etc. Most use the majority of the loan for that, and it can come around and bite them if they quit or are fired. Since it is a forgiveness loan, the firm comes for the remainder that might not exist if they are buying into the corporate culture. I've heard some nightmare tales of people following the corporate and client expectations and coming out the worse for it.

Guys, does any of you have advise on how to define a challenging but realistic deadline?
In my experience, most of the times giving a goal a challenging but still achivable deadline is very very hard to estimate. What ends up happening is that you either put a deadline thats too easy to achieve or one that is too hard, compromising the challenging (or the attainable) part of the goal.
For example, if you are a tennis player and set a goal of -entering the top 100 players-. How do you set a challenging but realistic time to that? You getting there depends on a lot of elements of randomness like the performance of other players, the speed of your mental evolution, your coach, etc etc. All of that makes it very hard to estimate a realistic deadline, and in life most things works he same way.

Regarding -It's okay to table a goal- - it's also okay to keep plugging away at it in small amounts if that's something that works better. Sometimes that won't work, obviously. You can't always quit half way through a task. But especially if it's a big project, doing a little every day is a valid way to make progress. It's also not a sign of failure to take longer at a given task or goal than some other person. I've had to remind myself of all this quite frequently. My biggest struggle has always been that first step, though.

Putting priorities on the back burner, like trading success in college for my personal health and survival, has caused me to fail classes and get suspended by FAFSA. But at least I am still alive. so I have to get effective treatment and prove I am -mentally stable- within 2 months in order to attend college next semester. Oh, and I travelled to this U. S. university from IRELAND. . Maybe I can make a good story out of this later down the road?

An example of rewarding the wrong thing is in the office when they set a prize for the branch that looses the most collective weight to fight obesity. It leads to one character being in the hospital because she went on an unhealthy juice cleanse for days, eating nothing, and also lead to arguments between employees and doing things like taking away unhealthy food or berating people.

Feel like switching the A to ambitious is a bad move. People that struggle to structure their goals and process have a tendency toward goals that are too big, and rarely pick goals that are too small. Encouraging people to choose ambition instead of attainable will cause a lot of people to stall out and achieve less.

Hands up if you here as a nursing student tryna careplan and not learn about how somebody grew up and developed a 5 year plan.
A does not stand for ambitious. It stands for Attainable or Achievable. Theres no point in setting goals you cannot achieve. A smart goal is not ambitious, a SMART goal is attainable.

Mr.
It's sad that we have prepared the next generation of adults so poorly that 2/3 of an episode of a show ostensibly about soft skills in business has to be devoted to the formulation and pursuit of goals. That's not a business soft skill, that's a core aspect of so-called -adulting-.
