a goal without action is just a dream

I had the pleasure of presenting to personal trainers throughout New Zealand last month at Bisgro. In the session we spent a good amount of time developing our vision of what we want in the future for our business and our lifestyle. If you haven't done this exercise I would highly recommend that you go through this process. This article by Aaron Whear - my fellow PT Plus coach will provide a great place to start. If you were at Bisgro, or if you have set yourself some goals earlier in the year, can I ask what you've done about moving towards your vision since then?

Failure to get into action, as the title of this article says, turns goals into dreams. The reality is that will not get your goals by chance.

Goals are achieve by consistent action. Think of driving from Wellington to Auckland at night. You can only see a few hundred metres in front of you but you're always moving forwards towards your destination. If you focus and follow the road ahead you'll reach your destination. Breaking your big goals down into quarterly and monthly blocks will help you to put an achievable plan in place. Then break down each month into weekly targets and daily objectives. Take action each day to move yourself towards your goal. If you have a 'to do list' replace it with a 'must do list' each day. Check that the tasks on the list take you closer towards your goal.

This week - get focused on consistent action and check each day that your must do list is taking you towards your goal.
