New Month, New Quarter -- Where's Your Plan?

It's TIME!

Take out your plan of action you created for the last 3 months, and take a look at it.  How did your progress match up against your goals?  CELEBRATE your achievements!!  Congratulations!!
Now take a look at where you didn't quite arrive.  Identify why that happened.  There are many reasons:

- your expectations were too high or unrealistic
- unexpected life happenings
- you didn't follow your plan ...

Don't dwell on what didn't happen - - dwelling on it won't change things.

Instead, grab a sheet of paper and write down your goals for the next 3 months.

What will your life look like on July 1?  What will your financial situation be?  Your career?  Your family?  Your spiritual life?  How will you have contributed to your community?

THREE STEPS to ACHIEVE:
DECIDE
Write down your goals.  Post them where you will see them regularly.  Bathroom mirror with a dry-erase marker is a great spot!  As is your fridge, in your office, by your bed, keep a copy in your wallet.

DO
Plan your Work, Work your Plan.  What ACTIONS will you take to achieve your goals?  Knowing what you want isn't enough, you're going to have to put some work in to it.
Then DO it.  Day after day, stick to your plan.  Don't fret over 'is it working' ... you have 3 months to test it out, so get to work, give it a fair chance to work for you, and like Nike says, Just DO It!

DEVELOP
On July 1, you'll get to do this all over again.  You may need to make adjustments: You will have achieved some goals and will need to write new ones; Some of your goals may change; and You may find you need to adjust or change your activities to achieve your goals.  That's perfectly and wonderfully normal.

What are you waiting for? Let's DO this!
