It has been said that writing a plan for your future requires you to integrate a number of life experiences, events and proven as well as unproven processes so you can find the direction desired. This plan has to be formulated carefully as a good solid plan can’t stand alone on just one of its concerns but must rather be closely integrated with the others in order to be effective.
Sometimes we get discouraged when we believe that individual progress is not as fast enough or perhaps inconsistent with the outcome desire thus we have to constantly rewrite the plan to make it true. It often helps you collaborate with a friend, a family member or a pending partner to develop the specifics and where you feel these ideas or objectives fit according to your ability to complete them as desired. Don’t be shy and not ask another person for help or input to make your plan a realistic plan. Focus on every progress and every process taken and completed. Measure your efficiency and determine if it is time to move on to the next step or improve on the current situation. Ask yourself how you feel about the progress made or experience gained. When you reach your own conclusion on this matter, feel free to share this with those who helped you develop the plan and see where this stage of the plan fits.
Never underestimate the influence or the insight of the participants or partners as they speak. When they speak to you about your plan evaluate and assess their own strengths and weaknesses and gauge your action plan from there. Those that support you have grown to a commitment that is now a solid element of the plan and must be taken into consideration every step of the way. Let’s look at some of the essential components of a plan. Making sure we cover all bases for the sake of having a good plan we must constantly evaluate the processes and the progress made during every step made at every level. We have already agreed to share our findings with those who volunteered to collaborate with us regarding the structure of the plan.
Evaluations or assessments can be formal or informal processes. They create the foundation of the plan. The plan is the roadmap you will follow but is not made of stone and can be re-arranged as you find it necessary based on those barriers, or changes encountered during the journey. Again, make your adjustments accordingly with input from those who support you along the way. Don’t be inflexible or unchanging in your ways for if the plan is too rigid it will likely be broken due to stress along the way. Update with effective and current information to keep you informed and with the social times around you. That is not to say you need to follow those social influences but rather, adjust for them to keep you plan in step and realistic with your surroundings. Reinforcement can be positive or negative and are based on ideas that will impact consequences. It comes down to desired or undesired outcomes thus it can be equated with how you want the event or process to turn out as a final result.
Summarizing your actions, you have decided to write a well written plan in pencil with one or more measurable objectives and outlined specific steps to take to achieve such success at each level. You have collected data to make informed decisions and adjusted accordingly making your plan flexible and realistic. You collaborated with family; friends or partners to ensure you receive both negative and positive feedback and adjusted as they guide you towards your designed and desired outcome. Based on these steps, you have developed a living breathing plan for the future that will suit your needs and desires as you work on making yourself better. The most important part after you reached your desired outcome or successes is how you will enhance or improves what you have achieved and find ways to strengthen your position, your futuristic possibilities and your earning power.
