Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely
Goal: "I want to be able to do MANY HPDE's in a single year. Until then, I will do none"
Specific: I want to get on the track eventually. How many HPDE's a year? *shrug* (nope)
Measurable: I'll do it when I'm making enough money (nope)
Attainable: Eventually with time (possibly)
Realistic: In your situation right now? Not at all, and not for the near future either
Timely: DEFINITELY not. This will take years for you to even get started.
Now, going over the same process, except with the goal of, "I just want to get on the track, once, to see what its like":
S: Very - once is a very easily achieved
M: Again, once, and you also know what kind of money you'd need to do it.
A: Once you get a job? Very quickly, versus working up the corporate ladder to FINALLY get what you want with the other goal
R: Of course its realistic, anyone can handle 1 HPDE a year really
T: The only thing you're waiting on is a job, not multiple other factors like a huge income

I've been through those same military briefs. Don't have to remind me. lol

Is not my goal. Competing is my goal. Which I don't have the $$ for. One day, hopefully, I will. And then I can go up the ladder.

Is also a bit off, I already know I'm going to like it through everything else I've experienced. The problem is when they day's over and everyone else is going home, I want more time on the track to keep practicing. I don't want to stop. And I can't afford several sessions.
So when I can, I will.
