A long-term goal is an achievement set to be reached over a long period of time. The period of time defined for reaching the goal can be almost any length of time; although most long-term goals tend to be measured in years. It would be appropriate to define a long-term goal for this week, month, year, lifetime, etc. The definition of a long-term goal usually involves setting short-term goals to divide the timeline of achieving the long-term goal.

Short-term and long-term goals are important tools in measuring success. They are used in a variety of areas: financial, personal and business to name a few. Setting and tracking goals is an important step in achieving success in almost any endeavor.
