Goal Survey Interview five friends or family members about their goals. Ask them to name their long-term goals and their related short-term goals. Why did they pick these goals? What deadline do they have for accomplishing the goals? What obstacles have they faced, and how have they overcome them? After you complete your interviews, write a onepage summary. What were your interviewees’ goals? Were they SMART goals? How much thought had the interviewees given to their life direction? Did you learn anything that you can apply to your life?
