I really like that S.M.A.R.T. acronym. I'm gonna write that down.

Yeah, each of these points is important. If you are weak on any one of them, or if it's nonexistent, it becomes that much more difficult to achieve something. For your benefit, and for the benefit of the thread, here is an example of a S.M.A.R.T. goal:
To increase my annual income to $50,000 by the end of 2011 by taking an extra 2 or 3 hours each week to attend courses/workshops/seminars, read books/magazines/journals, and otherwise increase my level of skills and knowledge related to my industry.
Here is the same thing translated into a dream:
I want to make $50,000 a year.
Or worse:
I want to make more money.
