Making Your Dreams Come True

I'm reading a book called, The Freelance Writer's Bible, and in it there's a chapter on making your dreams come true. A section called, "Your Power Cycle" caught my eye because although the book is geared toward writers, some of the information can be useful to anyone seeking to make their business a success.

The cycle consists of three phases:


(1) Envision- setting goals and milestones that you will reach over the next 12 months.


(2) Plan- deciding on a path that will allow you to reach your goals. This consists of your plan of action or strategic marketing plan.

(3) Act- you have the plan, now get working on implementing it.

(4) Evaluate- you set goals, decided on a plan and implemented it. After a year you then evaluate the results of your plan and decide on new goals and milestones.


We are a few months into the year and I know many of you have set 2008 resolutions. Some of you are on track and others well...

It's not to late to sit down and create your power cycle. It's easy to create and it will give you not only a road map of where you are headed, but will ultimately show you how far you've gone.
