Step 3 - The Objectives

 Part 3 - The Objectives...

This is where the action takes place. Objectives are what you are going to DO to reach your goals. Again there are some rules.

1. Objectives are very specific. They explain exactly what you will do and when you will do it.
    
2. Objectives are written I WILL. Don't use words like "try" or "maybe" or "hopefully".
    
3. Be sure your objectives can be measured. Every day or every week you can say, "Did I do this?" and you answer with either a yes or a no. Don't leave room for maybes.
    

OK time for more examples. If your dream is to be a perfect student your goals may be to get an "A" or "B" in every class subject. So, what are you going to do to get these grades? Your objective might then have to be "I will do one hour of homework every evening".

Each of your objectives has to be specific and each one can be measured. If you do all your objectives there is a pretty good chance you will get what you want which will then mean you'll fulfil your dream. No one ever got to the top of the mountain without taking all the steps necessary. Make sure you take time out to recognize your hard work.
