Begin With the End in Mind AND Sketch That Vision on Paper

Human nature says that the plan from the beginning. I say start with the end in mind, draw it will look like on paper and publish their own "success sketches", where you can see every day. Stick men are eligible! If changing jobs, do not blindly answer classified ads, and send a resume. Start by making sure that you want to stay in the same profession. If not, then read on career choices that interest you and where you have transferable skills. Sketch of the new role, smiling, be happy in his new office, house or with customers.

If you are looking for a new home, do not start by determining the price you can afford, start numbering the priorities of what you ultimately want, ie:

1) proximity to work,

2) school district,

3) and close to shopping,

4) the number of bedrooms,

5) family room on first floor, etc.

See for yourself live - actually walk around the house and getting into a car to go to work in the morning. Draw a house on the chart with your office and school, and it in a place where you see every day. If you are leaving home or starting a new life, where you ultimately want to end up? I suspect that not a one bedroom apartment in a questionable part of town. You may want to have a small home in a nice neighborhood.

When you have the answer to what your ultimate goal is that you share this with your mentor who will help you form a path to your vision. Life is not just about getting through the day to get to the next day. It is about making the world a better place for those around us and ourselves so we can live in peace and joy. How can you get to where you really want to be, if you do not know where that is.

Once you have in mind what you ultimately want to achieve on your way to getting that will become clearer. The road to success was only vaguely what you want is foggy. the final result must be clear in your mind.

Here's an example - you May want to run a business, but I do not know what kind of job would be right for you. So you start reading the classified ads for business opportunities. Do you see a vending machine company that has a low cost of entry and Boom! you are a business owner. Then you will understand that vending machines are heavy and should be transported, and do not have a truck. They require a lot of time on the road, and you do not want to drive. A business is more competitive than you thought, because anyone can buy a machine. To locate them with a good agreement that the key to success.

If you started with the end in mind You May Have started with what your final day will be like:

1) or in a small office near his home,

2) little or no employees,

3) low overhead,

4) little to no travel,

5) using its multitasking capability.

As you begin to frame these priorities are specific examples of lines of work will come to mind. Low overhead usually lends itself to a service related work, such as writing, design, temporary staff, cleaning agencies, and consulting. If you wanted to do something creative that could possibly grow seamstress who will design something specific that can be mass produced in China.

if you're not sure what specifically you want to do yourself a sketch of your ideal work environment and a place in your kitchen. As the vision becomes clearer, you can draw in the details.

Eleven key questions that will help us begin with the end in mind:

Where do you want to live? The current neighborhood? In the city? In a country? On the beach? where you want to do? Home? Small office? Large corporations? Near the house? It does not matter? I do not want to do? Do you plan things systematically or you are creative and free flowing? Do you want to take direction and give direction? Do you value flexibility in your schedule? Do you like working on one task at a time or do not like multitasking? Do you like to travel during a typical day, or rather stay at home or at work? confused? Do you want to work / live with a lot of people around you, or a little? What features do you see in successful people? Did you cultivate them? Do you have a piece of paper and pencil? Begin to sketch live answers to these questions and hang it where you can see it at the beginning of each day. Mark your calendar, so every two months allows you to monitor your progress. Change, add or edit the sketch if necessary.
