Achieving Your Goals

Being the ambitious and driven person you are, you undoubtedly have many goals in your life that you are eager to achieve. However, you probably find it difficult to motivate yourself to get started. Here is a 3-step approach to goal achievement that I find helpful:

1. What is your Goal, Why do you want to achieve it, and by When?
2. What do I need to Know to achieve it?
3. How will I achieve it?

The most important part of successfully achieving your goals is knowing why you want to accomplish them. Clearly define how you will measure success of the goal by assigning a reasonable time frame.  Once you have this deep understanding, brainstorm what information do you need to accomplish this goal. Then plan out the process into 4 or 5 high-level tasks, and then 5-7 smaller sub-tasks with time frames associated to each. Feel free to use the Work Breakdown Structure Template.
