Personal Goal Setting b layout 1

Step No. 6: Make a plan to achieve your goal.

Make a list of the obstacles you will have to overcome, the additional knowledge

and skills you will have acquire, and the people whose help you will need. Organ-

ize the list into a plan based on priority and sequence.

Step No. 7, and perhaps the most important of all: Take action immediately on

your plan.

Once you begin, never stop. Do something every day that moves you toward the

achievement of your major goal. Become intensely action oriented. Develop a bias

for action and a sense of urgency. Be a moving target. Develop the momentum

principle of success. This principle simply says that once you are in motion, it is

much easier for you to stay in motion than if you come to a complete halt and try to

start again. This momentum principle is one of the great success secrets practiced

by all high-achieving men and women. Once they begin working on a goal, they

never stop until they achieve it.
