SMART Goals, HARD Goals and Lost Goals

There are multiple approaches to achieving (versus losing sight of) goals. Current acronyms of SMART and HARD outline such approaches. However, I see goals get achieved or lost based primarily on just two variables, Time and Obstacles. What people and organizations do with these two variables, starting day one, is my best predictor of whether goals will be lost, with the specific approach being less significant. Again, it's not the approach, it's T & O - the willingness to put in the time and remove the obstacles.
