Over the next several \u00a0weeks\u00a0I am going to continue to share\u00a0the SEVEN Practical Steps <\/strong>to achieving your goals and ultimately your Vision of Success<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 This week we are on Step 4.

These goals are what you will place in your plan. Consider breaking your plan down into 5 year goals, 1 year goals, 6 months, 3 months and 1 month achievements. After completing this plan you can do weekly goals that will put you on schedule for all of the other timeline goals. Be realistic here so you don\u2019t get discouraged.\u00a0<\/p>\n Check to see that your goals are in line with and build upon each other.\u00a0 For example if in 5 years you plan to be out of college then at one year you need to have been accepted to a school and at 6 months you need to have applied to a school.\u00a0 It is unrealistic to say that you will finish a four year college in 2 years, but it is also unrealistic to say you will finish a 4-yr college in 10 years if you never apply!<\/p>\n Try this Success Coaching Exercise…<\/strong><\/p>\n Pull 3 goals from the work you did in\u00a0steps 1 & 2.\u00a0 Just circle them then write them down. Decide for each goal when you would like to accomplish it. Then one at a time break that goal down into smaller steps and put due dates on those smaller steps keeping in mind realistic impediments but still pushing yourself a bit. Once you have done that for these 3 goals repeat for all others. This is\u00a0 a draft so be flexible and move things around.
