Methods prevent Madness!

Order staves off chaos, and its unwanted compadres frustration and anxiety.

You must understand that randomness is not an underpinning of success.

Being good, skilled. or talented will not make you successful.

You will never find employment simply because you have a degree

Opportunity may knock, but success will not.

Success is an outcome of targeted effort.

And, the most successful people, became that way because they had a plan!

If you want to be successful

You must have a strategy, an approach.

That strategy should be concrete, it should be plain enough that you can break it down for others.

So, how do you build a strategy?

The first step is to always write everything down!

“Until you commit your goals to paper, you have intentions that are seeds without soil.” Quote by Brian Tracy

As celebrated author Stephen Covey surmises, “Begin with the end in mind”

Focus and create a mental picture of what your success or achievement looks like.

Be specific!

• Will it be a three -story home?
• A Best-selling novel
• A Record deal!
• A Business with multiple franchises
• Or a family?

Write down that vision in detail, make it as vivid as possible.

If necessary, find images representing your outcome.

 This helps to keep the vision in front of you

Then use that vision and work backwards.

The question you want to answer is how do I get what I want?

Determine what major milestones you must accomplish to fulfill that vision.

Then break down each milestone (creating subgoals) to fulfillment of each one.

Then take each subgoal and determine what you need to do daily, weekly, monthly.

From that point you can begin to act

Chart your progress along the way.

Creating a strategy is not an easy process.

It will take time and effort.

But isn’t it completely worth it!
