Dream Up an Idea

Dreaming and imaging a future is an important as it can be the first step towards making a plan that may take a decade or longer to implement. Dreams are the first step, but one must then follow it up with a goal to back it up, along with much smaller goals to measure one’s progress to it.

Break Up the Dream Into It’s Raw Components

To get towards a dream, one must figure out what it’s made up. What are each part of reaching the dream? How much will it cost? What skills are needed to reach the dream? The numbers might seem outrageous and out of reach today, but every large number is just the sum of smaller numbers.

Figure Out a Timetable

What is a reasonable timetable? Goals are easier to reach if you stretch out the timetable for reaching them, but we all have limited lifespans, and as we get older our health declines, regardless of what we do prolong our health. Longer timetables also have greater risk, as over more time you risk of accident, job loss, or health decline.

Figure Out Major Yearly Goals

Figure out how much must of the desired goal must you reach every year? This actually is not difficult thing to do, it’s mostly math. You should plan on reviewing your goals each year, to figure out how close you are at meeting your yearly goals, and try to exceed your yearly goals to the greatest extent possible, as some years you might fall below your goals.

Automate Smaller Goals

Automating savings is one of the easiest way to get towards savings goals. With modern savings accounts and investing methods, you can automatically save each paycheck. Other small goals are a bit harder to implement, but one option is setting a routine or scheduling time to do something each week. Block out an hour for excerise, or time at the range to become a better shooter.
