A Transcript of... Organize 11 Create A Plan Of Action |
|
Thanks for joining me on another episode of Writing Tips for Content Creators. Our current series is about outlining and organizing and is full of great techniques you can use right away. Let's dive right into the next one... 11. Create a Plan of Action. To help you achieve your goals and stay focused on the objectives, you should have a well laid out action plan. This plan will cover the steps you need to take to get you from where you are currently, to the ultimate goal of where you want to be. Many folks tell you to set high goals and try to get to them. Personally, I think that's a recipe for discouragement. If you set ten goals and you only get to one of them, how do you feel? Like a failure. At least that's how I feel. On the other hand, if you have ten REACHABLE goals and you nail them all, how do you feel? Like a success. And that feeling fuels you on to accomplish more and more. I like to do what I call "above and beyond goal setting." I set myself realistic, reachable writing assignments and then I try to go "above and beyond" that goal. In other words, my goal for today might be to write 10 more tips for an eBook. And I'll shoot for 15. If I get 15, then woohoo! But, if I only get the 10 done (which is very realistic) then I still feel like I've accomplished something. It's all mental. And I like to keep my mind happy and feeling victorious. =:) |
