How to Coach Yourself and Others Techniques For Coaching | Page 379
If you weren’t afraid at all, if you were like James Bond, what would
you do?
If money weren’t an issue, what would you do?
What would [insert any character you admire] do?
What else could you do?
Go ahead, make your list!
For now, do NOT censor your list, or trim it down. That’s a focused
thing to do, and would sabotage your creative thinking. Don’t worry
about writing down crazy and stupid stuff, because we’ll trim that
down in the next step. For now, just write!
…
And only when you have loads and loads of possible actions, then it’s
time to move on to the next step. Where you will move from thinking
and planning to setting clear goals and taking action!
Step 4 – Goalsetting
Alright! It’s time to take all the planning you’ve done so far, and use it to
make your ideal situation a reality!
In this step, we’ll focus mainly on how to make sure you take action,
once you decide what you want to do. Because it would be a shame to
figure out exactly what you want, what needs to happen to get there
and come up with many great ways to move towards it… only to fall
victim to procrastination.
As promised, this is a complete method for making a personal
development plan. And by now, you have gone through the big-picture
stuff of figuring out what you want from life, through finding the gap
between your ideal situation and your current life, and coming up with
specific options to make it happen. And now we’re about to drill down
to specific goals and make sure you start moving towards your ideal life
today!
