"The bridge between your dreams and reality is a plan. Do you have one?"
Greetings BDPA LA family,
We all know somebody (or are that somebody) that dreams big but plans small. Without adequate planning, our goals and dreams remain elusive. This month, I encourage you to revisit your goals and validate them for "SMART"-ness. If the objectives to reach your goals do not meet the criteria below, it's time to update them.
It is time to set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) Goals.
Last month, event attendees learned how to augment their personal networks with online tools such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. BDPA LA is proud to announce that it has a presence on each. Be sure to link yourself and join today!Our program meeting this month focuses on How to Succeed in Your Job Search. Join us and learn from an actual recruiter regarding what today's employers look for in potential candidates. Feel free to bring a guest. Lunch provided to those that RSVP by email. Our guest speaker will focus on:
- BDPA on LinkedIn Group

- BDPA LA on Twitter
Our meeting will take place on Saturday, Oct. 24th @ 1:00 pm at the Tom Bradley Youth & Family Center (5213 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90019).

John,
Since you've mentioned SMART goals, I've published an excellent article on the subject, how they reduce ambiguity and increase commitment. You can find the article here. Hope you'll enjoy it and find it useful!
