That being said, the cold snap got me thinking about my goals for the future. Oh, I have several and I'm a firm believer in setting goals for your life, career, business, relationships and health. Small goals that are easy to achieve and celebrate are my favourites. Each day I celebrate a goal that I successfully completed.
Larger goals are wonderful but if you forget to create an action plan to achieve your big dream type goal you will begin to feel discouraged. This may lead to giving up on your dreamy goal.
Today, I was looking out my picture window and I started to daydream and a new dreamy goal came to my mind. My new goal - Every Winter I Will Spend a Minimum of 3-Weeks in a Hot, Hot, Tropical Climate. Fabulous goal and I want it to be successful so I set about creating an action plan. I will be in Costa Rica or other tropical paradise from January 22, 2014 to February 15, 2014....period.
My action plan created the steps I want to take to make my goal a reality. First, finances - how much will I want? I divided that amount by 52. So much easier to look at dollar values when they are small and it makes it doable!
Third, hubby. Okay, he pretty much loves whatever I plan so I'm good there.
Done!! I set a goal and developed the action steps to make it a reality. As a bonus, I created new and fantastic action steps to grow my business.
The benefits of Goal Setting and Creating an Action Plan are enormous.
So, get out your pen and paper, start daydreaming, jot down notes. Dream big and choose one to make a reality. You will have a new sense of accomplishment, confidence and an event in your future to look forward to. How great is that!
Thanks a lot for providing on this very nice and useful steps to make my small business becaome progressive.
