step 5: blue print

If you are building something you need a blue print. You need a plan, a plan that you write out for yourself, a step by step guide to follow.

Each step in your plan is your next goal. Completion of the whole plan is the completion of a major goal. Completion of this major goal is your purpose for doing it in the first place and it is a part of you, a part of what you want to be.

Making a plan is both the hardest and easiest thing you have to do.

It is the hardest because you may not have any idea where to start. That is where time spent on step 2, finding a role model, comes to your rescue. There is someone out there who has done what you want to do, study their actions and duplicate their steps and you will have a plan.

Making a plan is the easiest thing to do because you can go to the book store and buy a plan right off the shelf. Thousands of books have been written on how to do things, these are all plans. There is so much information available to us that it is astounding. You can make one trip to a book store, buy ten books and have all the plans you need to completely change your life.

In our example for this program I have already plugged a book and I am going to do it again. Our example is becoming physically fit and the plan we are using is Pushing Yourself to Power by John E. Peterson. This book provides all the instruction we need to reach our goals. Look for it at your local book store or at Amazon.
