Strategic Goal Planning

Peter Bonacum of Action Coach nailed it once again with these insights on goal setting:

To set a new goal, ask yourself these questions:
Where am I right now?
Where am I going?
When do I want to get there?
What do I have to do to get there?
When will I do these things to get there? What system do I have in place to measure my progress?

All your activity should be geared towards getting desired results. Sounds simple, but perhaps you should ask yourself if the activity will contribute to your goals before spending the time. Is it going to move you forward?

A little math:
To succeed, Dissatisfaction x Vision + First Steps should be greater than Resistance. One reason for resistance is fear. Don't let it drive you. It will keep you from trying new things.

It's a Chain Reaction:
The quality of your mentors & teachers will impact the quality of your knowledge & education which will impact the quality of your beliefs & dreams which will impact the quality of your questions which will impact the quality of your decisions which will impact the quality of your actions which will impact the quality of your results. So get a mentor, keep learning, dream big, make good decisions & go for it.
