the wrap up!

Have you completed steps 1 - 6? If not, you can't do the wrap up! Go back and complete the sections you didn't finish before beginning the final step!

1. Go through each section and for each, write a one paragraph summary of the information there.
   
   
2. For sections 3 - 6, create two goals that really compel and excite you when you think about them from the material you wrote. Compare this list to step #2 Need list. Do the goals you set meet those needs?
   
   
3. On a separate paper for steps 3 - 6, write one goal at the top of each pager. (I like to do this in a goal journal that I can refer back to later.
   
   
4. Give yourself two minutes for each goal. For each, write a paragraph on why you want to achieve this goal.
   
   
   • For each goal, write what need or needs acheiving this goal will help you meet.
     
     
   • Write a compelling argument to yourself on why you must do this. If you can't write a compelling argument that makes you ache to achieve the goal, you may need to choose a different goal. If you can't convince yourself in an argument, you won't have the drive to complete the goal!
     
     
5. For each goal, write out three TINY steps you can take now that will help you accomplish the goals. Usually, these will start with what I call the "discovery" stage. In other words, make a phone call, pick up information or a book to learn more about the subject, sign up for a class, choose a color, get an application. Don't be grandiose! Make it one small, easy to do, thing! Each time you cross off something off that to-do list, replace it with another step on your goal sheet list. This will help you keep momentum, as well as your confidence.
   
   You may find that what you thought you wanted is not what you want at all. That is progress. In that case, cross the goal off your list and return to the page for that step and choose a new goal, and create three TINY steps towards that goal.

Congratulations! You did it!

Do you know how old you will be when you complete your goals? The same age you will be if you don't! Get started!
