Can you see the importance of doing something immediately upon getting into a state of daring? I believe the first step should always be to take the obvious first step.

AND

It’s also a very beneficial to do some strategic preparation.

Preparing includes Goal Setting - Setting powerful, bold goals in specific measurable terms, including several milestones along the way, gives you a framework, mindset upgrade and a process for making sure you’re staying on track. I have a few goal setting tools and an audio program available at http://www.jfcoach.com/goals-handouts which you might find useful towards that end. I’d also be very willing to discuss your goals one-on-one if you’d like to give that a whirl – very often the conversation can be highly motivating.

Preparing includes Planning – Once you have your goals in mind, then you can start doing some of the work to figure out “how am I going to get there?” Can you organize a “road-map” to guide you toward action steps, resources and relationships that will bring your goal to fruition? You really can have ANYTHING happen that you want, – just keep brainstorming, doing the right things, and having upbeat, exciting conversations with people would could contribute something to the possibilities you’re committed to.

Preparing is a Habit – As your daring goal inspires your planning and goal setting, make sure to also consider making a habit out of these stages of thinking. Can you see the benefit from preparing, planning and goal setting for any major project or initiative that you are pursuing, either professionally or personally? Can you see the benefit of organizing the resources, information and materials that you will need? Can you also imagine the difference in your confidence in the big-picture, as well as during any interim action step, when you are more prepared rather than less.

So with regard to the power of goal-setting, planning and preparing what will make a difference in your pursuit?
