How are you doing? Are you where you want to be? What would be different if you had started doing things differently a year ago?
Would you be thinner? Richer? Calmer? Fitter? Healthier? In a different job? In a relationship? Out of a relationship? In your own home? Running your own business? Selling your own book?
The thing is it’s not too late to do this….where could you be this time next year?
Do you have a dream? Well stop dreaming and make a plan.
That’s your task for today. Make a plan for something you want to happen in your life.
Start with a goal, then think of the three main things that need to happen to get you to your goal.
Then break down the three things you need to get done in the same way. Repeat until you have a good idea of the steps you need to take to get you to your goal. The more you break it down, the more detailed your plan will be.
Once you’ve written down the plan, assign some dates to when you will get things done by. Mark it on a calendar for next year so you know what you want to be doing. Hold yourself accountable for hitting your deadlines. You may not always make them, and that’s OK, but know what you’re aiming for.
Think about who you can involve to help you? Can they be part of keeping you on track?
What might get in your way? If you can think of anything that could derail your plan, you can probably think of a way of getting around it too. Good planning involves thinking about obstacles and how to bypass them. It also involves contingency plans for those things that you didn’t see coming.
I know making the first steps can be the hardest part when you are working towards a long term goal, but put a little faith in yourself and be brave.
Who knows where you’ll be or what you’ll be doing this time next year.
