Goals are just dreams… unless you take the action steps necessary to accomplish them. Now, dreaming is a fine thing… but taking the steps to make your dreams—your goals—become a reality requires a plan… and some real nuts-and-bolts work.
Begin by writing down your specific goal… and set a realistic date for its achievement. Think about what it will look and feel like when you’ve accomplished that goal. Then write down all the steps you’ll need to get you there. And be as specific as possible.
Third, pick a realistic time frame and assign the steps to a schedule. Some may need to be done just once, while some may need to be done more frequently—even daily. Think outside the box to be sure you haven’t missed anything.
Fourth, decide how badly you want to accomplish this goal. Enough to give up your favorite TV show or spending too much time on Facebook? This is where the rubber meets the road!
This is the season for resolutions. so this year, why not stop fighting to accomplish your goals and instead, lean into them. And start with today.
