It's also important to have the time to let things happen. Only youcan decide what is to happen in your life. Here is a methodthat may work for you. You have nothing to lose. Start with that yellow pad; you can transfer to computerlater on. Tear out eight pieces of paper and label eachas follows: Finance, Health, Professional, Community Service, Personal/Fun, Spiritual, Relationships (All) andEducation. If you have other titles that you prefer, use them. Don't be attached to what I have suggested; it's just that, a suggestion. It's a manageable breakdown of all life's topics. First, ask yourself a few questions: o How will I do things differently than I've done them before? o What am I holding onto that I no longer need or want? o What are my personal values? o Are my business values the same? Part of your plan, before setting your new goals, is to eliminate any toxic or draining person, activity, commitment or prior goal that is no longer working. Youare not required to do anything that doesnt serve you.This will only create resentment and affect your future. Prospective clients can always tell an unhappy, unfulfilledand dissatisfied person. You will not attract what you need. For about a month, try asking yourself, "Is this whatI really want to do?" " I this what I most desire?"As the responses come, you will see what and who has beendepleting your energy. Take care of yourself first. Be totally responsible for what happens in your life. These topics can include business and personal goals. Let'sFirst choose the topic "Finance". First determine whatyou need. When all your needs are met, your wants will beeasier to tackle. You may need or want to be: 1. debt-free 2. have a child3. create a larger profit 4. achieve a specific income5. buy a car 6. purchase a home 7. take vacation or 8. investment your money 9. quit work10. sell your business . You get the picture. This is a project that requires a little time. The energy is yours to direct where you want. Another guide to goals; keep them SMART. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and True. If you want acar, make sure that goal says "Platinum, 2004, 850i BMWcar," not, "I want a BMW." You may wind up with a motorcycle! Measurable; how will you know it when you getit? Attainable; is it at all possible? Goals should be atthe outer edge, not out of reach. Realistic and true for you, not anyone else. This is your life. A reminder: don't include other individuals in your goal.They have to make their own. Even when it pertains to yourbusiness, it's still your goal. Goals must be consistent with your values. Write your goals in present time; "I am wealthy," not, "I will be rich next year." Feel itand act it. Write down every task and idea that will helpfulfill these goals. After you have created all your goals, take several 3 x 5 cards and write them down. Carry thesecards with you and keep copies in your car, at the office, in your home. Now it is time to give up control, go with the flow andenjoy your rewards! You deserve them.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Joanne Victoria is a Northern California based writer whospeaks on finding your inner truth and attracting what worksfor you in your life in order to achieve more focus, morebalance, more prosperity and more fun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sign up now for Joannes FREE monthly e-zine Lighting Your Path!-Discover Your Inner Truthat: mailto:[email protected]~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.Joanne Victoria Leadership Coach, Speaker, WriterTel:415-491-1344 mailto:[email protected]://www.JoanneVictoria.com/programs.htm~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
