Wake up and Start Doing

“We were always dreaming of how it was going to be.” George Lucas

Turn your daydreams into practical realities by employing proven project management techniques. Start today by setting SMART goals; specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-based plans.

If you’re chartering unfamiliar territory and unsure of what types of goals to set, start networking and reach out to someone that has accomplished the very task you have decided to undertake. Ask them to lunch, your treat, or offer to assist them in meeting their goals. In the process, learn as much as you can along the way.

But if you’re networking skills are below par, turn to Google. These days search engines leave no stone unturned and every subject matter in the world is available at the touch of a key stroke. Don’t underestimate the effectiveness of good old fashioned research.

As you look to each brand new year, keep your dreams alive and make use of practical and proven steps to achieve them. In retrospect, with purposeful planning coupled with execution, daydreams that once seemed out of reach will soon become your reality. And by all means, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined (Thoreau).”
