As I told you in a previous blog, I’m on a bit of productivity drive right now and planning for success.
I have made great plans to take this blog up to the next level this year, and I am studying not just the tasks I need to do to achieve this, but also how to motivate myself to succeed, and how to fit in all of the steps I will need to take into my busy lifestyle.
While I’m doing that, I plan to share with you some of the hints, tricks and tools that I am using along the way. So let’s start at the very
When you are planning for success, sometimes the most important thing to do is to pick the right goal to start with. In order to do so, there are some important key questions that you should ask yourself. The answers will help you to pave the way to your success!
What am I passionate about?
If you don’t know what you are passionate about, then you need to stop right now and figure that out. If you spend your life working towards something that doesn’t spark your passion, then you are going to have a hard time motivating yourself to succeed.
Where am I right now?
Be honest with yourself when answering this question. Evaluate where you are in life and how close you feel to achieving your goal. Don’t use it as a way to be hard on yourself. Simply figure out where you are and how far you have to go before you are where you want to be.

What can’t I do by myself?
Every goal starts out huge, and there are ways that other people can help us to get where we want to be. Whether it’s through offering resources or simply being there to provide moral support and accountability, there are ways others can help you and you should think about who could help you and how.
