A Goal Without A Plan Is Just A Wish.
A powerful quote and image (a la Mad Men) to start off your Friday. Next steps to be the person you could have become:
- Take a piece of paper and pen.
- Write down what you have right now — relationship, career, possessions, friends, worth, etc. Keep it general.
- Now write down your dreams — relationship, career, possessions, friends, worth, etc. Keep it general, but THINK BIG.
- Compare the two.
- Start developing paths with steps from your current state to your desired state.
- Start moving forward. Today.
"A goal without a plan is just a wish." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
