Think Bigger

I was talking last week about getting some planning done for next year before this one has come to a close and I've been thinking a bit about what my own plans for 2017 will be.  The thing is, I find that for a large part, I'm quite focused on the individual steps and haven't given a lot of thought to the big picture.

It can be easy to set small goals for yourself that are easily achievable or, at least easy to visualise but you (and me) should also give some time to thinking about the bigger stuff we would like to achieve.

Think about what some of your ultimate goals are.  Are you living in your dream home?  If not what does that look like?  Would you like to increase your income?   By how much?  What's your 'I've made it' salary?  What does your dream career or business look like? Or are you retired? What are some of your dream holidays or bucket list items? Are there things you can start doing in 2017 to get you on the path to those things?

We're conditioned to not be too greedy, to not overstep ourselves but that's a falsehood.  If you've got big dreams, the way to get them is to have a plan!

It's true what they say - a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.  Can you map out the first few steps to get you some of what your ideals are.  Set some deadlines for achieving each step.  Work backwards from the goal if you need to.  How many of them could you get done in 2017? Add a few more.  You may reach further than you thought!

Till next time,
