WHAT YOU CAN DO

Take these steps to set and reach your goals.

Identify.  Make a list of potential goals, and prioritize them-choosing the ones you want to work on first, second, third, and fourth.

Plan.  For each goal, do the following: 

* Set a realistic deadline.

* Plan the steps involved.

* Anticipate obstacles, and think of how to overcome them.

Act:  Do not wait until you have every detail worked out to get started.  Ask yourself,  'What is the very first thing I can do toward reaching my goal?'  Then do it.  Track your progress as you complete each step.
