especi for the uninitiated. There alwai seem to be so much to do,

Start and manag a busi is overwhelming. and so littl time to do it. You spend your dai work veri hard at get the job done, respond to custom enquiries, make sale calls, and so on, that veri soon the dai blur into weeks. You forget what it wa that inspir you to begin the journei in the first place.

However, there is a simpl plan that you can do befor develop ani of the other just mentioned. Thi plan requir that you complet your ultim goal in your mind, and work backwards.

Here' what I mean.

or begin a new project in the compani you work for. What wa it that you could see as the end product? How did it look,Tak the vision or idea that you had when you decid to begin your business. feel, taste, sound, smell? Can you see it in your head?

ask yourself thi veri import question. What do I need to do to have product,Now. idea, report, etc complet by chose a date ?

even while you sleep. With respect to the date - just pick one. I onc heard the express that there ar no unrealist goals,Thi is on of the most power question you could ask yourself.

and it mai sound a littl tricky. Assume you know the answer. Yep,Now come the next part. just tell yourself that you know the answer to this, and then get it down on paper. Even us a tape record if you find talk about it out loud helps. By do thi you silenc the nag voic of doubt in your head, and unlock the brain creativ mind to find the solut for you. What ha to happen 11 month from now for the goal to be realized? 10 months? What ha to happen in 6 month time for the end result to take place?

and there is a discrepancy,Keep work back to 12 month befor the end date - today. If you compar your plan to where you ar at in reality. then adjust your end date. If your plan sai that you need to have complet the test to your product by the end of April 2006, and you know that it will be June befor that task is completed, chang the end date to be June 2007.
