Most people stop there. They stay with “If I get a break then I’ll work on this,” or “when I have the time…”
To take it to the next level… the essential level… you need to take from the vision statement the key goals that you will choose to work towards. Narrowing down your vision to four or five specific goals is a giant leap beyond what most people do.
Go back through your vision and write next to each of the goals whether you want to achieve them in 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 years. Once you’ve done that, copy out your top five one year goals. Include one goal that is an attribute, or a character quality that you desire to develop within yourself, one goal that is something you want to do, and one goal of what you want to have. The last two goals can be whatever you choose.
Include with your goal the reasons why you will achieve this goal within the next twelve months. Remember it is when we have a compelling reason why that we find what we need to move.
Goal 1
Goal 2
Goal 3
Goal 4
Goal 5
Write down what attribution or character qualities someone who has these goals would possess. Describe the qualities, values, beliefs, thoughts, attitudes et., this person would possess and value.
