How To Prepare & Plan For Your Success

If you are like many people, you may continue to set goals, but fail to achieve them, because you haven't adequately planned or prepared for your success. Just like if you don’t have clearly defined goals, not properly planning can leave you drifting through life.

If you don’t develop a plan to achieve your goals, then you will be relying on nothing but luck, and have no guarantee that you will achieve your goals. You simply cannot achieve any of your substantial goals if you haven’t developed an adequate plan.

Creating Your Action Plan

For each of the goals that you've determined, you need to create an action plan. Your action plan will consist of all the steps that you will need to take to achieve your goals. While you may not know all the steps that you will need to make, it is still important to write down as many actions as you can. Later, you can add more steps to your plan as they become more apparent to you.

To begin creating an action plan, you need to examine your goals and figure out the steps you need to take to accomplish them. For example, if you are planning on starting a new career as a writer, there are several things you need to include in your action plan.

Partial Action Plan for Becoming a Writer

• Take a creative writing course to improve your skills as a writer
• Read books in your genre to determine the best writing style
• Learn how successful authors achieved their success
• Spend two hours a day writing, eliminating interruptions
• Find out what publishers are looking for in a successful book

Each of the action steps you develop is essentially a mini-goal. Some of these mini-goals may need to be completed in a specific order, while others might be able to be implemented with others.

Achieving meaningful and worthwhile goals takes careful planning. When you pay attention to the small details, you can quickly achieve your goals. As you begin to write things down, your mind will promptly start to organize itself, allowing you to find new ideas that you may not have previously considered.

Tapping Into The Power of Mind Mapping

A great tool that you can use to help you when brainstorming your action steps is mind mapping. Mind mapping is a way of getting your ideas and thoughts out on paper and can help you think creatively and logically to come up with new ideas.

Mind mapping helps you map out your thoughts to gain more significant insights into the plan that you are developing. It helps to stimulate your brain to think in new and creative ways.

When you create a mind map, you are creating a highly organized map that is ideally in line with the natural way in which your brain works. With mind mapping, you can put your ideas down in any order as you think of them, and reorder them later to make more sense.

You want to start with the goal that you want to achieve. This is your central idea. From there, you can branch out from the goal to all the steps that you will need to take to achieve your goal. Your key thoughts in your thinking process are the main branches that lead from your central idea, while your secondary thoughts about your key thoughts are represented by secondary branches.

Create a Mind Map for Each Goal

Now that you know how vital mind mapping is for developing your action plan, you need to start creating a mind map for each of your goals. The process is a powerful way for you to discover the steps you need to complete to achieve each of your goals.

As you progress toward achieving your goals, you want to remember to revisit the mind maps that you created to see if there are any new steps that you need to take. Most mind maps will be in a constant state of flux as you being to think of new ideas.

Along with creating a mind map, you need to take consistent daily actions toward your goals if you want to be successful in achieving them. Small, regular, daily actions will mount up to massive results over time because they act as a bridge to the future you want.

Many people start a great plan but quickly abandon it at the first hurdle they encounter. So, it is important to commit to yourself that you will not be someone who gives up at the first setback. To get the maximum results from a minimum amount of effort, you have to take consistent daily actions toward your goals.

Merely taking a single small step every day over the course of a year can add up to a lot of progress toward achieving your biggest goals. Join us in GYST Braincamp to get access to my 100K In 100 Days daily action plan.
