| Day Four: Chart Your Course  | During the past three days, you have taken responsibility for your life. You are fully aware of the power of your thinking mind. You've established your purpose and you've set some big goals. You are dreaming about what you can accomplish, achieve, and contribute. All of a sudden you wonder, what do I do now to make all of this a reality? It's time to chart your path. How will you accomplish these big goals you are developing for yourself? My first experience of setting big goals was many years ago. I was making about $35,000 a year in a job. I listened to a Brian Tracy tape series about the power of creating success and achievement. He said to write down my most important goals, that the mere fact of writing them down gave the goals a power they would not otherwise have. In response, I wrote down several goals. I wanted to make $45,000 a year. I wanted to be a published writer. And, I wanted to start my own business. I tossed the index card into my desk drawer and forgot all about it. Years later, when my husband and I were moving, I found the card. Guess what? I had exceeded my written goals and dreams. The memory makes me smile. Is goal achievement that easy all of the time? No, but writing down the goals is one of the first steps. In Day Four of the Ten Days to a Happier, More Successful Career and Life, you will learn the six steps you must take to make your dreams and purpose a reality. No little goals, right?
