I'm always so inspired by people who are able to achieve their dreams, large or small. There is one common theme among this group of people: They are able to look at an impossible situation and make it possible through a positive outlook and purposefully planning.
Teach For America {a program that recruits high-achieving college graduates to teach in a high risk environment for two years} has created a framework for setting, achieving, and continuously improving goals and plans. The plan has five steps which I have adapted for general purposes:
1. Set big goals
2. Invest in your goal and those around you
3. Plan purposefully to achieve your dreams and plans
4. Executive effectively and adjust when needed
5. Work continuously to overcome challenges
I taught a Kindergarten class of 25 students in the lowest income school in Charlotte, NC using this framework and my students saw incredible results. I have also applied this to different areas of my life: career, finances, personal fitness and health goals. It really works... give it a go and turn your dreams into plans!
