#3 Write Out Your Road Map:

I love to travel. Now days I prefer to get in my car and drive, less hassle and I can listen to my CD’s while traveling to a new place to get a little R & R. I’m lucky that I have a GPS system in my car but before I leave I always take a map and write out a travel log of where I’m going just to make sure I don’t get lost or inadvertently take a wrong turn. I don’t think my travel habits are strange, in fact, most people do the same thing when they are getting ready to take a road trip – so why not use those same tactics for your life?!

If you have specific plans or goals and you never write out a plan on how you intend to reach them, how do you know if you’re on track? What’s your timetable and once you get there how are you planning on keeping the goal alive?

This is your opportunity to take a dream that you’ve been kicking around in your head and actually make it happen. Here are some tips to help you do this.

1. Always write your goals out in the positive

2. Write out your goals in complete detail – don’t leave anything out (colors, places, people anything that makes this a complete picture and helps you visualize it).

3. Write out your goals in the present tense as if they are currently happening.

4. Re-write your goals. Every time you write something down you are drilling this into your conscious and subconscious, therefore making it real.

“A very successful man taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment,” Anthony Robbins; Life Coach, Author, Speaker and Entrepreneur.
