Hi Stephen,
Good question. I believe the goals you set should be realistic, smart and achievable.
Not too high nor too easy/low. When there are reasonable they become a driving force for you as you work hard daily to achieve them; if they are not realistic; or too high you will fail to achieve them every month; that will lead to frustration and you will get easily demotivated. This is why some people end up abandoning/giving up on the business. On the other hand if the goals are too easy to achieve its pointless as that will not require much effort on your part to attain them.
Every month adjust your target; If last month you had aimed to reach 500 on the country leaderboard and you only managed to reach 2000 despite having exerted yourself; then there are two things; either your were too ambitious or your goals were not realistic because there is no way that you can achieve being N0.500 (for example) if you currently are 55000 on the leaderboard.
