AN EXAMPLE OF AN ACTION PLAN

Written by: Sohan Singh

Article Overview: Some helpful hints to enhance the possibility of attainment of goals: 1. Commitment and a planned approach to an Action Plan or a Learning Plan is more likely to achieve results. Goals must be written down. 2. Be expressed in the present tense, as if they were real. 3. Clear and sharp focus on the short steps necessary to achieve the results. To illustrate how this might work in real life, let us take an example of an athlete who wants to improve the speed at which he or she runs 1500m. Here is an example what An Action Plan to achieve the goal might look like:

Re: Your choice between... - [quote="ideasuniversity":vaktl0u2]If you have a choice between $100,000 and a book that guarantee you the secret on how to be a millioniare which one will you choose?[/quote:vaktl0u2] Both these choices require one to take ACTION. The $100,000 is a lot easier to take ACTION by simply accepting it - what you do with it (aka ACTION) to grow it into millions is another question. The millionaire book option requires you to take MASSIVE ACTION which unfortunately most people are not cut out for - that's why "get rich quick" schemes and promises are still flourishing
Re: About: product production! - No....but I wish! LOL...I mean I am going to definitely soon. ...Thanks for the compliment! I know I have always been an optimist my whole life, and I think it goes with my sun sign too ...which is, Sagittarius. And as for a prototype... i do not have that yet either. I just have a burning desire to find out everything and anything I can, to really help me....and to just be more informed/knowledgeable about how this all works...so that I can put my words into ACTION! See, if I had a "master plan" that said "this is what you do first, second you'll have to do this...and then comes this part..." (etc) I would have been already in action and moving forward with my goals. I don't have a prototype yet and this is why i WAS asking all of these questions....because these questions drove me crazy at night when trying to sleep. I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING....so that I can be well informed on how I go about doing all the steps necessary in order for me to get ahead. I am excited about creating my prototype....and I heard that its not the wisest idea to have some company do it for you (is that right?) because it is too expensive. EVERY SINGLE DAY, I hold my hands out in front of me....and I imagine that I am holding the final, finished piece in my hands...and smiling admiring it, feeling proud of it (ect) Now my job is to not get my butt scammed cause I worry some time's I may be naive? But I do have a really good intuition and always trust my gut before proceeding with anything. DO you have any other words of advice that I should know , once I have completed my prototype? Am I supposed to contact a manufacturing company and see if they could help me Or patent my Prototype AND THEN CONTACT A MANUFACTURER??........ughh I feel so stupid. Like I said I am so new to this and amateurish. THANKS!!
