The
most important thing to remember about setting goals is
that they belong to you - not to
your spouse, employer, parents, teachers or friends. |
|
After
you've defined your goals, identify the skills you have
to achieve those goals. If you're
not sure what skills you'll need, do some research. Try
the library, your guidance counselor, teachers, research
technique articles on this website, and other
people who could help you. |

Goals
exist to serve you.
If your goal is something
you no longer want, you can change it. |
|
Identify
the barriers to getting your goals. Is lack of money a barrier? Time? Your
attitude? Write down the barriers and consider ways to
overcome them. |
|
Don't
get overwhelmed by a big, long-term goal - see what
steps you can take to achieve the goal and set those
steps down as short-term, "do-able" goals. |
