Welcome to Excellence with Adebayo
Finally …. I started a newsletter just for you
Hello friend,
Welcome to the Excellence with Adebayo Newsletter, a personalized, easy-to-read letter where I share nuggets on how to become your best self.
If you’re receiving this via e-mail, it’s because you signed up for one of my workshops or seminars. I saved your email because I knew that one day, I would create a space to share and help you on your quest for excellence.
That day has finally come and it's truly a special one, not just for me but for everyone in this community
However, if you stumbled on this newsletter on Substack or a friend shared this with you then you’re in luck as this would be worth your time.
I intend to send these letters to you twice every month, focusing on a particular theme every month. This month’s theme is Goal Setting.
Setting Smart Goals - A Practical Example
You’ve probably heard that you should set SMART goals. SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic & Timely. You may understand this but not be able to apply it to your personal or professional life.
Today, I’ll show you how.
For example, I could set the following goal - “I want to start a newsletter”.
This is basic and doesn’t follow any of the components of a SMART goal. However, we can make better .s
Specific: I will launch a newsletter focused on personal excellence.
Measurable: I will write and send out two newsletter per month.
Achievable: I will allocate 4 hours weekly to create content and engage with my community
Relevant: This newsletter will help build my personal brand and engage with my audience on topics related to self-development and attaining success.
Time-bound: I will have my first newsletter published by the 7th of September 2024.
The SMART goal would be: "I will launch a bi-weekly newsletter focused on personal excellence and send out my first issue by the 7th of September, dedicating 4 hours every week to content creation and community engagement thus building my personal brand."
With this SMART goal, it is easier to take action and keep yourself accountable rather than the first example that was vague and gave little to no context on what is required to kickstart or achieve the goal.
I encourage everyone to use this SMART goal example as a guide whenever you are setting goals
Some Housekeeping …
I also started a YouTube channel with the same name - Excellence with Adebayo, where I’ll be sharing in detail, concepts, tips and easy to follow strategies to help you attain the excellence you’ve always strived for. Do well to subscribe to the channel.

Thank you for starting this journey with me and please feel free to tell some friends passionate about excellence to subscribe to this newsletter.
Best,
