2. Many people create goals for
themselves, only to see them never
materialize. The reason that their goals
do not become their reality is that they
do not take any actions to move toward
their goals. Just wanting something is not
enough to make it happen. To get anything
in life you need to take action. The best
way to achieve any goal that you set for
yourself is by making an action plan for it.

3. INSTRUCTIONS
1.Write down the goal that you
want to make an action plan for.
Over time you will want to do
this for every goal that you set
for yourself. Right now it is best
to start with one goal that way
you can narrow your focus and
your drive to achieve it.

4. INSTRUCTIONS
2. List the things that you will need to
do to accomplish this goal. If you do
not know what it will take to achieve
this goal, go online and do some
research. For example, if you want to
become a teacher, go online and
research what type of degree and
certification that you will need to
achieve this goal. To make an action
plan, you must know in detail what it
will take to reach your end destination.

5. INSTRUCTIONS
3.Choose a completion date for
your action plan. This is the date
that you will accomplish your
goal by. Be realistic when setting
this date. If you need a certain
amount of time for the schooling
to accomplish a goal, then you
will want to make sure that you
factor that in to the date.

6. INSTRUCTIONS
4. Break the actions that you need to
take to accomplish into the months and
weeks that lead up to the date that
you have set to reach your goal. In an
action plan, it is important to a weekly
and monthly list of actions that you will
take to achieve your goal. This will hold
you accountable and keep you on your
timeline.

7. INSTRUCTIONS
5. Refer to the action plan often
through out the time that you are
working on your goal. Reread what you
need to do each day to make your goal
a reality. You can re-evaluate your
action plan once a week or month to
see if you need to rework any of your
time frames and actions that you need
to take. This will guarantee your
success at any goal that your heart
desires.
