Set a goal

I was recently asked whether I was problem conscious, or solution orientated?

My goal is to help as many people as I can, and I think that there is no substitute for strategy and careful planning when you have goals. You will work hard and get things done in the pursuit of achieving or accomplishing goals. Activity creates excitement and you will need to be excited if you are to achieve and accomplish your objectives. Never confuse activity with accomplishment…


When you have a dream, make a list with the following framework:

1. Identify the goal
2. Identify the benefits from reaching the goal
3. List the major obstacles stopping you from reaching the goal
4. Identify the skills or knowledge required to reach the goal
5. Identify the individuals, groups, and organisations to work with on the goal
6. Develop an action plan
7. Set a completion date


This list may help you to reach your goals, as motivation without instruction and education is ultimately frustrating. When you have a target list, you will focus on the goal and what is essential to achieve your objectives. Contact me via e-mail for a goal setting workshop.
