Define success
Write the observable condition that will mean the goal is complete.
MAKE PROGRESS MEASURABLE
Turn direction into a goal you can execute
Define success criteria, baseline and target values, deadlines, and progress for goals grounded in your life vision.
THE PLANNING PROBLEM
Why this layer matters.
Goals such as “get healthier” or “grow my business” express intent but provide no finish line. They are difficult to plan, measure, or review.
ForgeLift helps you define what success means, record the baseline, choose a target value, set a deadline, and connect the goal to the life domain and vision it serves. Progress can then drive quarterly and weekly decisions.
HOW IT WORKS
A guided path to clearer action.
Record the baseline
Capture the honest starting value so progress has context.
Set target and deadline
Choose a measurable destination and a realistic date.
Track useful progress
Update the value and use the gap to plan the next execution cycle.
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
From idea to usable plan.
Instead of “improve savings,” define a baseline of $2,000, a target of $8,000, a deadline at year end, and a success criterion that the balance is held in a dedicated emergency fund.
