James Cunningham. This theory invented to help everyone in setting up high quality,
achievable and worthy goals.

S - SPECIFIC

I need to be specific in setting up my goal. Before I can set up my goal, I will ask myself
with what, when, where, whom, why and how. My goal is to become the Marketing
Manager in fashion industry. I set to achieve my goal in 2026, which is the year when I
reach my 31st years old. My dream is to work in the leading company in fashion industry
which is FashionValet. I figured that I need to build and expand my network and
relationship with important people in the industry such as media influencers and
managers to increase my knowledges and enhance my soft skills to be valuable in the
industry.

M - MEASURABLE

I need to make sure that my goal is realistic and can really be achieved with the right
plan and determination. Being a Marketing Manager in FashionValet is realistic and can
be achieved in reality. It is not the same with someone who wish to ride a unicorn!
