Setting clear goals means knowing exactly what you want to accomplish within a certain timeframe. Goals must be S.M.A.R.T.

Specific A clear description of what you want
Measurable How much it costs in the future
Achievable It is with reach
Relevant It is aligned with other objective
Time-bound it has a deadline
