Awake every day with a short list of goals. To exercise this daily strategy, an end goal must be identified and a strategic plan executed. Implement the following:
Define success. Identify and note what a perfect day, week, month, and year would consist of 20 years from now. Determine the cost and research how to leverage passion and talent to support the lifestyle.
Create a mission statement. Identify purpose in life. Defining success helps determine what goals to pursue, but the purpose explains why.
Identify weaknesses. Stay empowered by acknowledging areas of needed improvement. For 30 days, on paper, write down one weakness a day. The process, though challenging, helps pinpoint potential roadblocks on the journey to success.
Create a plan. With a definition of success, purpose, and weaknesses in mind, create a comprehensive plan to achieve goals. The plan should answer the questions of “who, what, when, where, why, and how,” meaning the following:
o With whom should one associate?
o What is the agenda?
o When should certain tasks be completed?
o Where (geographically) should the plan be executed?
o Why are tasks being done?
o How should tasks be done?
Gain financial literacy. Seek education regarding financial management and credit, as they are the cornerstone to financial independence. On the journey to success, finances and credit will be useful resources that shape the plan to achieve desired goals.
Get started. Establish a vision, write it down, and execute. Do not fall victim to procrastination. With the steps provided, every day will be purposeful.
Implement these steps and success will be imminent. Success is the result of healthy habits. Repetition of healthy habits fosters a success that will be the result of will and not luck. Use will to obtain desired outcomes and achieve desired goals.
