Blog Post: Reach for the Stars - Setting Goals and Taking Action

Do you have written goals that you want to achieve in the next few weeks, or months, or even in the next year? I want to share a technique I use for reaching my goals. When you decide to take positive action, write down the goals, and develop a plan to reach them and you will succeed. The likelihood of success increases when we have goals with action items that show the specific steps we will take to achieve those goals. This technique works for any project, business planning or personal goal achievement.

One tool I can recommend is called a "scan plan" described below:

• Write down each goal on a 3"x5" note card with a specific date for completion
• Add 3, 4 or even 6 steps you need to do to accomplish the goal - these are action items
• List names of who you need to involve in the process in order to complete the goal
• Put the note cards in a small plastic folder and keep them in your pocket for quick reference
• Review the note cards daily and weekly to see where you are with regard to the completing the action items.
• Set new action items, as necessary.

You are on the way to making your goals a reality.  When you reach for the stars, you may land among the planets! The solar system is vast!

Helping you reach your goals as I am finding ways to Magnify Your Performance(TM)!
