New Year's Resolutions 2011 Part 4: Goal Writing

Goal Writing

To really succeed in your goals, you need to take it step by step.  You will need some pen and paper.

1. First and foremost, you need to identify your goal.  What would it look like when you achieved it? How would you know?  When would you like to achieve it?
2. Next, identify where you are now.  List your weak areas, and anything which is blocking you from achieving your goal.  And also list your strengths.  What skills, resources, and experiences can you bring to the project?    Do you need to do any more research or recruit help?  This part needs care and consideration.  Otherwise you would have achieved your goal by now!
3. Break your goal into parts.  Create both weekly and monthly goals.
4. Review your progress regularly and adjust your mini goals if necessary.
