A simple equation for a plan of action.
Starting the process of
Attaining a successful life.
What you need to know to
Make positive life altering changes.
You have finally made the decision
that it is time to make some
changes in your life.
You know that the only way things
are going to get better for you financially,
spiritually and physically is if
you sit up and take action.
You know you have to put forth
the effort in order to reap the rewards.
So how exactly are you going to
implement these changes?
You are going to have a "plan of action".
A plan of action is crucial to your success.
Without a plan, it is merely a thought.
When you add your thoughts to paper
coupled with a desire to see them become
realities and proceed to do everything
possible to fulfill that desire you
have a template for success.
A simple equation to use when creating
a plan of action from your
template is Desire + Effort = Results.
Your first step is to write down what
Exactly it is you desire.
Albeit wealth, personal development or
Whatever you so strongly yearn for that
You simply can no longer go
Without, write it down.
Make your desires realistic.
For example, if your desire is to lose 20 pounds,
it is unrealistic to believe you can lose 20 pounds in 3 days.
However, it is possible to lose 20 pounds in 3 months
With a proper plan of action.
It is important to note that there should
Be a time frame with regards to your plan.
These time frames are the milestones
To marking your achievements.
Now that you know what your specific desire is,
List the ways in which you plan on achieving optimum results.
How do I plan to lose these 20 pounds?
What do I have to do each day in order to achieve my goal?
What do I personally need to do to see this plan come to fruition?
Set up a schedule outlining each step
That needs to be taken daily to achieve weekly goals.
Be specific.
Create a daily "to do" list.
At the end of the week, you will be able to
See how much you were able to accomplish.
Congratulate yourself for each accomplishment.
Make a commitment to yourself to "Work the Plan".
Stay focused on the positive.
List all the reasons why you will be able
To achieve your objective.
Utilize the strengths you possess that
Will help you to complete your plan.
Know your weaknesses and make a
concerted effort to overcome them.
Incorporate both your strengths and
Weakness into your plan of action.
Know what you are capable of and
Know what your shortcomings are.
Have your own personal reward system in place.
Know what each reward will be for each
An accomplishment that you have fulfilled throughout your plan.
With every desired result you achieve there
Should be a reward for having done so.
An incentive plan customized to your wants.
Do not let yourself get disheartened.
If you have a temporary lapse or deviation
From the plan acknowledge it and continue
To move forward with your plan.
Keep the pedal to the metal or your nose
To the grindstone, just keep on taking action.
Remember, this is not a race to the finish line.
Your plan is your future.
Take the time to nurture and understand it.
We've all heard the adage "Rome was not built in a day".
Your success regarding your plan of action will not be
Achieved in one day either.
Success is a process and the process
is something you have a long-term plan for.
"You and only you can determine if the reward
Is worth the price you are paying for it in an effort".
