SOAR TO SUCCESS / Business Acceleration Strategies set a specific goal such as, “I want to lose 30 pounds by July 1st.” That’s a good goal because it’s realistic, measurable and has a deadline. To set realistic goals, make sure they scare you a little but also that they are achievable. 2. Create an Action Plan Creating an action plan will help you turn your goals into reality. And it will increase efficiency and accountability in your life and business. An action plan describes how you’ll achieve your goals through detailed action steps that describe how and when you’ll take these steps to achieve your goals. To create your action plan, your action steps or change should include: * What actions you’ll take. * When the action steps will take place. * What resources you need to make the action steps happen. * Communication (who should know about the action steps?). To create an effective action plan, take your goals and break them down into small habits and routines that you’ll achieve daily. Slowly grind away and make incremental progress. For example, if you want to lose 30 pounds this year, develop a habit and a routine of exercising at least one hour daily. List down the workouts you’ll do each day to achieve your ideal weight. By breaking down your goals into a daily action plan, it won’t be so overwhelming. 3. Take Action Remember, big action plans are just excuses for procrastination. You only need to focus on doing what will make you achieve your goals and get to where you want to be. Instead of creating a 40-page action plan, take one action step daily. Making meaningful progress towards your goal will make you happier, and you’ll be more confident. However, don’t stress toomuchabout achieving every goal; your focus should be to make progress in your life. So, set SMART goals, take action, make progress and celebrate what you achieve. Remember, what’s scheduled gets done. So, invest up to 45 minutes every day for five days to go through these three steps. Put your goals everywhere; this will help you remember to take action daily. Doing so will make this year the best year ever!
