Planning: One of the traits of responsible person is planning. By planning your life, your work or your leisure you will be able to do more and do the activity that is most important for you to do at that time. Even though planning is extremely valuable many people don't plan for such reason as they don't have time or they just don't know how. If planning seems like something that is more work than it's worth, you might start by getting an inexpensive planner that you can carry with you and just start putting your appointments in it.

Brainstorming: This is where you find a quite place to work and you have decided on something that needs to be done, but your not sure just what. If you were looking for a home based business to start but are a little fuzzy which one to go into, you could sit down with a legal pad of paper and write a list of all your strengths and skills. This would help you decide because you could start by looking for businesses that have a good fit with your abilities.

Desire: In the book The Secret the first step to manifesting everything that you desire is to focus on what you want. Make sure that what you are focusing on makes you feel good inside. While you are thinking about what you want, close your eyes and feel what emotion you are feeling. If the feeling is a good feeling, a positive feeling, then you are attracting what you desire. It's the law of like attracting like. What ever you focus on is what you will have in your life.

Goals or Targets: I use the terms goals and/or targets simultaneously. A goal is nothing more than something that you are shooting for. Let me ask you, "Do you consider yourself a gambler?" Most likely you don't, however, if you don't have specific measurable goals written down for each area of your life and your business, and a plan for their accomplishment, then the odds are that success for you will be an accident. Your goals should align with your VALUES so that you are on purpose and not just writing goals for the sake of writing goals.

Persistent action: The first thing to do is to decide if it's what you really want? Are you doing this because you have the desire to do it, or because you feel it should be done? Nothing replaces persistent action. Choose a small step that can be taken each day that is not overwhelming. It's better to be consistent then to be perfect. Of course some things require detailed plans to execute, but often perfecting the plan is a great excuse for not taking action. Do the necessary preparations, and then take action!

Working with a Coach: In my experience of working with clients there are often some very specific areas of focus that they want to work. Sometimes it might be about strategies and tactics that they can apply and other times it might be tackling areas of self doubt or misconceptions. I also notice that they rarely need to work on all aspects of a particular topic but more on one or two areas. Working with a coach helps clarify the direction you want to go.
