Three step process to success

Greetings:

I have determined that there is a three step process to success.

Know Your Goal, Make A Plan, Take Action

I have come to the conclusion that in order to create something new in your life there are three necessary steps. The first one is to determine what you want. You must have something in mind that is compelling and inspiring. Once you know what you want, you must develop a plan of action. Not having a plan is like taking a road trip without a map. You might eventually get to your destination, but it will take you more time and effort. The same is true of goals. Without a plan, you will founder around and waste a lot of time and energy. And the final and most important step is to take action.

Taking action is the only way you are going to create your goal(s) into reality. Taking action seems, for many, to be the hardest step. If you are not sure what to do to get started, that is fine. Just do something. The first step is the hardest. The path will unfold in front of you and reveal itself, but only after you make the first move. When you take action, you create a forward motion. You do not need to know exactly how everything will unfold. Often there is no way to know. You just need to keep putting one foot in front of the other and be willing to do what it takes to create your goals. Staying committed to being in action and not stopping until you reach your goal is the secret to creating what you want.


The three step process to success requires a clear goal, a plan, and action. Having a goal without a plan is not really a goal; it is a dream. Taking action without having a plan is like following your dream in the dark. You might eventually get there, but it will take twice as much time and energy. Having a goal and a plan without acting will not support you in achieving anything. What you will end up with is a wish that you had, not the joy of having done it.

Here's to taking action
