Your Deadlines
For each goal:
◗ Set a deadline
◗ Create a calendaring system that lists your deadlines and reminds you of them
◗ Get an accountability partner and meet with them monthly to review your progress
◗ What timeline or range of time do you think you need to achieve your various goals?
Your Talents
Your talents drive your plan. Each of us is good at something. Some of us are good at several things. A few of us are good at many things. Determine what you are good at – what your talents and skills are. It is not a coincidence you are good at something. Each of us has a purpose and that purpose is achieved through our talents and skills. So to achieve your purpose you must evaluate what your skills are, all of them, big and small, common and unique, and write them down.
Your Passions
Your passions are your fuel – they get you up early in the morning, keep you working into the night and toiling through the weekend. Your passions motivate you to chase and achieve your goals. If you’re pursuing a goal for which you have no passion, the odds of you achieving it are much lower than if you are pursuing a goal for which you have passion. I believe our passions are interwoven into our DNA, into our hearts and into our souls, so that from birth we are driven to pursue them, and by extension, pursue our purpose. Align your goals with your passions, because your passions will inspire and motivate you to achieve them.
