Step One – Clarify  Your Life Goal

• Write it down in one or two sentences
• Separate out the means to the goal from the goal itself
  • A friend said to me that if an Angel gave her one wish,
    • she would ask for ‘Money’!
    • “What will you do with it?” I asked.
      • “I will open and orphanage,
        • something I have always wanted to do!”
        • “That’s your life goal, money is only the means to it!”
          • I said.

Step Two – Find Out All You Can About Your Life Goal

• List everything you know about it
• Ask people about it
  • Talk to those who are already in the industry/occupation/career etc.
  • Learn as much as you can from those who are already in the activity
    • Do an internship
    • Get a coach if possible
• Read about it
  • The internet is your friend – you can find a lot of things there
  • Take notes
• Take courses if they are available

Step Three – Identify Resources Required and Available to Reach Your Life Goal

• Time, Skills, Funds, People, Information Sources, Effort (Sweat Equity)

Step Four – Break Up Your Life Goal into Smaller Objectives

• Immediate Objectives
  • Today, tomorrow, and for the next one month!
• Intermediate Objectives
  • One to six months of activities
  • One semester of school
  • One season: Summer, Fall, Winter, or Spring (Dry Season or Rainy Season)
• Medium Term Objectives
  • Annual Objectives leading towards your goal
  • One-to-two-to-three-year plans
• Long Term Goal – Your Life Goal

Step Five – Take the First/Next Step

• Start each day with these reminders:
  • “What little thing will I do today towards my Life Goal?”
    • That’s mine
  • “A Journey of a thousand miles starts with one step”
    • Lao Tzu
  • “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”
    • Franklin D. Roosevelt
  • “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
    •  Thomas A. Edison
  • “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” 
    • Robert F. Kennedy
  • “But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead”
    • St. Paul (Philippians 3.13)
  • “Take care of the details, but also keep the big picture in mind”
    • That’s mine also 
  • ‘The future is now!’
    • Public Domain (Movie, Albums, etc.)!
