It’s so simple but so effective – Top 5 tips to planning ahead that will transform your whole life:
Desired Outcomes
Make a note of your desired outcomes, e.g “It’s November 2017, I have lost loads of weight this year, I feel fantastic about my body” by doing this you’re activating your creative subconscious which will start generating creative ideas on how you can achieve your goal. This will build your internal motivation massively.
“As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.” – Antoine de Saint Exupery
Risks
By planning ahead, you’ll often end up at potential walls that you will need to climb over on your journey to success. If you understand what those issues are at the beginning of the process, you can prepare for them. Ask someone for assistance earlier or even just to soften the blow!
Goals
Having clear goals in life, gives you an enormous sense of clarity of what is important. What is a priority? If it’s not helping you achieve your goal then how can you change the task so it does. Or even question why am I doing this, if it isn’t helping me? Without personal/career goals you’re just playing the waiting game. You really can’t just sit on the couch and wait to achieve your dream…

Results
When you plan, the results seem so much sweeter. Ticking them off your list will give you more satisfaction than just getting lucky. After you’ve ticked them off, it should send a nice little signal to your brain that says “right, what can I achieve next?”
