Look over your list of actions you will have to do to achieve your goals . Do you believe that you can do it? If you have doubts, take some time to think them through first.

Are your expectations realistic? Have you succeeded or failed at tasks that were similar to this before? What can you do to improve your chances of success this time around? For example, if there is a good chance you will not follow through with your plans, you have to ask yourself why.

Are you a procrastinator? If so, what can you do to make sure that you will keep going until you reach your goal ? Are you afraid of failing? If so, work at improving the skills you will need. Or test the waters by taking an evening or distance education course before you sign up for a whole program. If you are having trouble identifying your fears or figuring out how to deal with them, talk to people you trust. Ask for their suggestions, but always make your own decisions.

Put your plan into action from to do list

By this stage, you probably have more than one list of things to do and if it is necessary, some plans for avoiding or dealing with potential problems. Now you need to put them all together into one comprehensive plan. You must list tasks in the order in which you must complete them and set deadlines for the completion of any major plans.

Successful career planners keep themselves on track using a variety of methods, such as:

• Marking tasks on a monthly calendar (noting important dates such as application deadlines or action plans) making weekly or daily lists of things to do and cross off tasks as they are completed

• Using a computer program to create time line charts which give you your time limits for task completion

• Using a commercial appointment book or a notebook; even a palm pilot with a new page for each day or week.

Use whatever methods work best for you. If it is necessary, ask a friend to check on your progress occasionally or question you on your successes because you are more likely to get things done if you know you’ll be asked about it.

Now you have learned all that you could want to set successful career goals. If you follow the things in this section and have remembered the previous sections, you will do just fine because there is nothing to hold you back now.
