Make Your Goals a Reality

What are your goals for the coming year? No matter what you have planned, these five steps will help guide you towards success:

• Define your goal. Determine how much time, energy and money will be required to reach your goal. Then, review your budget to determine if it is financially feasible.

• Take an inventory. List the skills, abilities and resources that you can apply to your chosen goal. Identify areas that may need more research or additional learning.

• Make a plan. Create a detailed plan that will serve as a roadmap. Putting your plan into writing may also help you identify missing details or other challenges. Consider updating this plan with new short, medium or long-term goals every three to six months.

• Incorporate smaller sub-goals. It may be helpful to break a large goal into several smaller steps. For instance, if you are remodeling a room, list each task, such as painting, replacing carpeting or installing new blinds. Consider if you want to tackle each step one at a time or do the entire project all at once.

• Fine tune your goal as needed. Over time, you may realize that a goal no longer fits your plans. Don’t be afraid to change course if necessary.
