 We are towards the end of January and what has happened to your new year resolutions?

If you are off track, here are six steps to bring you back on course to make your DREAMS come true.

Here is a simple mnemonic to help you

Define – What do you want and why do you want it?
State what you want in the positive, be clear what you and others will see hear, think and feel when you have achieved it. Be clear, very clear about your criteria of success.
Discover what is your motivation for achieving your goal.
Ask yourself,
What are the benefits to you and others when you do achieve it?
What will the suffering be to you and others if you don’t achieve it?

= Reality check
Where are you now? What is the truth of your current situation? What are the potential obstacles to you achieving your goal? To achieve your dream, what do you need to overcome, what are the potential barriers to your success. What must you access in terms of time, money, motivation, collaboration, accountability, coaching, mentoring and training?
