Towards the end of 2009, I sat with my wife to plan specifically for 2010. That has been our routine for many years because we sit down to write our goals
A THREAD
So we took our time to write the goals. We broke them down to specifics- the type of school, location, type of property required, publicity required, etc.
Registration took some time and we had to settle for another name because some of the names were not available
Finally, in February 2013, her dream came true. Looking at the pictures of the Christmas event the school recently held, one can only thank God that this school was just an idea a few years ago.
Here are a few tips:
My own style is to have a place where I jot my thoughts before I draw up a final document.
Some people believe in drawing up just one single goal. That's fine if that is where you currently are.
Don't be ambiguous. 'I want to save money in 2020' is NOT a goal. 'I want to save N1m in 2020' is better.
I break my own goals into quarterly phases for easier monitoring. Never leave your goals open-ended.
During the brainstorming sessions, you must also write down your plan. What I have shared in these pictures are part of our plan.
Several things will crop up unexpectedly. There will be issues that won't be within your control. Adjust and modify as may be necessary- but never give up. The location of the school had to change because of exigencies
This is where many people fail. They think having a goal is like a walk in the park. No, it demands very hard work. When my wife finally saw a property, it didn't quite look like what she dreamed of
Hab 2:2 The Message
And then God answered: “Write this. Write what you see. Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run....
