ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS IS AS SIMPLE AS CBA!

CBA stands for:

C = Clarify what you want;

B = Believe in yourself & your dreams;

C = Act on what you believe;

I would like expand on the CBA:

- clarify what you want;

- prioritise, so as to focus on high-payoff activities;

- manage your time effectively by tackling the Big Rocks first;

- think & act strategically: long-term; medium-term & short-term; be positive about the future;

- take actions, preferably constructive & consistent actions; there's a world of difference between mere action & constructive action!

- prepare to pay the price;

- be persistent;

To consider what you want, please pay attention to the following steps:

- assessing your needs, by asking 'which needs are going unfulfilled in my life?'; also, check out your strengths & weaknesses;

- determining your values, by asking 'what do I value most in my life?';

- clarifying your goals, by asking 'why do i want it?';

- planning your course of action & acquiring tools & strategies to achieve the desired results;

- analysing potential obstacles & designing solutions;

- making changes quickly, if needed;
