Write Down Your Thoughts

Writing not only stimulates your brain activity but it also acts as a great de-stressor. Keep a journal so you can record your thoughts if you are feeling down. Write in your journal when things are going well. Write down your goals, keep them close at hand. Track your behavior, what you’re doing. You can know what’s working or not unless you track your results. You can’t change what your doing, if you don’t know what you have already done. Use your journal to right down all those great and not so great ideas that occur to you.

Although any bound notebook will do, invest in a well-made journal to increase your creative juices.

Wishing you a larger life,

How Do We Use This Master Plan For Personal Success?

We’re going to develop five-year enabling objectives based on the four personal success Life Goals. Let’s pick a straight forward example. Assume you’re 20 years away from retirement. Let’s say one of your Life Goals is to have $1 million dollars cash in your bank account. What is the five-year objective that will enable you to get there? You might decide that “having $250,000 in my bank account” is your five-year goal. Note: I’m not telling you that this should be your goal, or that you would or should ever have that much money in a bank account. I’m just attempting to use an example that is mathematically straight forward.

Once you have your list of five-year personal success enabling objectives, you’ll develop your one-year list. So using our example above, the one-year goal becomes “having $50,000 in my bank account”. Next you use the one-year goals to develop your monthly lists and use each monthly list to create your weekly lists. Of course your weekly lists are the basis for your daily ‘to-do”lists.

I know this sounds like a lot, but the plan is pretty straight forward. Let’s review. We get the big picture of what we want our lives to be, that’s our personal success Life Goals. We look at the perceivable future, listing our five-year personal success enabling objectives. We then use the five-year objectives to decide what we need to accomplish this year (these are not New Year’s resolutions). We use this year’s personal success objectives to determine what we’re going to accomplish each month. We use the monthly objectives to develop our weekly list. Finally we use our daily “to-do” list to ensure that we making progress every day towards accomplishing our personal success Life Goals.

This is a fairly long post, so I’m sure you need a break as much as I do. Next post I’ll show you how I use this process myself.
