If you are focusing on career goals:
1. Work close to home
2. Travel a lot
3. Get a promotion
4. Write a novel
5. Get extra training
If the area you are choosing to focus on is family, your goal list may look a little more like this:
1. Spend more time with my kids
2. Eat together as a family
3. Take vacations
4. Don’t bring work home
5. Be home more often
From your list of 25 goals, it’s time to select the top 5 most important and totally ignore any of the other goals on your list.
Let’s look at the example I gave earlier :
1. Work close to home
2. Travel a lot
3. Get a promotion
4. Write a novel
5. Get extra training
I worked close to home, I may be able to save additional money. That additional savings could help pay for extra training that I need to get into a job position that allows me more travel.
Get to bed at 8pm –> Wake up early –> Get to work on time –> Help boss with workload –> * Get promoted *
Now getting a plan in place that helps you see how to get there is really all you need.
Make those dreams a reality.
