\"write<\/a>With New Years Day right around the corner and with it the tradition of setting one\u2019s New Year\u2019s resolutions or goals, I was asked by a reader of my blog post Decide What You Want<\/a> <\/em>how to create an action plan for goal achievement.<\/p>\n

1. WRITE DOWN YOUR IDEAL OUTCOME<\/h2>\n

Begin by writing down your ideal outcome.\u00a0 Remember, don\u2019t worry about the how, your subconscious is already working on that.\u00a0 Let\u2019s say one of your physical goals is to compete in a 100-mile Century bike ride by X date, one year out, and you are not an active cyclist.\u00a0 That was me in 2005 when I set the goal to compete in my first Century (100 mile) ride, the LiveStrong Challenge, in 2006.<\/p>\n

2. ESTABLISH YOUR BENCHMARK<\/h2>\n

First, establish your benchmark by making an honest assessment of where you are right now.\u00a0 Look at where are you in fitness level, knowledge and equipment needed to achieve the goal.\u00a0 Next, write down what you need to fill in the blanks.\u00a0 Since this is your first experience at it, ask other cycling enthusiasts and read up on what you might need to complete the ride.<\/p>\n

3. MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU NEED<\/h2>\n

Then, make a list of what you need to have your cycling ideal: the bike, the clothes, the training schedule, the books or magazines to learn from and motivate you, the bike pals to train with, the needed coaching, the indoor workout routine and off-season training, etc.<\/p>\n

4. PRIORITIZE THE LIST<\/h2>\n

Now, this list is the foundation for your action plan: what bike do you need without over buying, what clothes, etc.; what do you need to learn; what do you need to implement as a training routine; etc etc. Each of these tasks is an action item.\u00a0 Now, prioritize them and you have an Action Plan.<\/p>\n

5. REPEAT FOR EACH OF YOUR MAJOR GOALS<\/h2>\n

Do this for the three major 6-12 month goals in each of the seven categories (physical, financial, professional, relational, spiritual, personal, and philanthropical) and reap the rewards!\u00a0 And, be ready, once you achieve the goal you may want to keep it up as an ongoing lifestyle change for a larger goal like maintaining excellent fitness to boost energy, maintain an ideal weight, and create long-term health benefits (the WHY behind the goal).\u00a0 You’ll want to do more century rides, more saving and investing, more…<\/p>\n
