Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb

Back, back, and back again hehe

Happy reading!

“Thoroughness characterizes all successful men. Genius is the art of taking infinite pains. All great achievement has been characterized by extreme care, infinite painstaking, even to the minutest detail. “

Your ability to set goals and make plans for their accomplishment is the “master skill” of success. There is no other skill that will help you more in fulfilling your potential in achieving everything that you are able to accomplish.

Putting Your Plan Together

Fortunately, in the previous chapters you have identified and assembled all the ingredients necessary to create a plan for the achievement of one or more of your goals.

1.      You now have a clear vision of your ideal end result, or goal, based on your values. You know what you want and why you want it.

2.      You have written out your goals, organized them by priority and selected your major definite purpose.

3.      You have created measures and standards to track your progress, you have set both deadlines and sub-deadlines as targets to aim at.

4.      You have now identified the key obstacles, difficulties and constraints that stand between you and your goal, and organized them by priority.

5.      You have identified the essential knowledge and skills that you will require to achieve your goal.

6.      You have organized these competencies by priority and developed a plan to learn what you need to learn to accomplish what you have decided to accomplish.

7.      You have identified the people, groups and organizations whose help and cooperation you will require, both inside and outside your business. You have decided on the specific steps you are going to take to earn the support and assistance of these people in achieving your goals.

Make A Plan of Action:

1.      Make a list of everything that you can think of that you will have to do to achieve your goal. Leave nothing out.

2.      Organize your list by priority; what is the most important task or activity? The second most important? And so on.

3.      Organize your list by sequence; what must be done before something else can be done?

4.      Determine how much time and money it will take to achieve your goal or complete your task. Do you have the time and resources necessary for success?

5.      Revisit and revise your plan regularly, especially when you get new information, or things are not going as you had expected. Be prepared to change if you need to.
