We achieve our goals faster with greater ease when we align our actions with our dreams.

When our actions are on target with our personal success statement, we experience more joy and feel 100% alive … because we're feeding our spirit, as well as the bottom line.

When we honor both the dreamer and the doer, we can be, do or create absolutely anything we can imagine!

But to align actions with goals requires time for reflective thinking and planning. This is where I've found many people struggle, because it's so easy to let outer circumstances determine how we spend our time. Often "busy-ness" replaces real accomplishment, the activity that will help you connect with your unique definition of success.

If you resist planning, consider the words of Eleanor Roosevelt when she said, “It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan!”

So if you want to go beyond the wish and live the dream, explore your beliefs and habits around planning. For it doesn't have to be complex to be effective and simpler is often better.

--> Let’s explore the 10 Keys to Right Planning!

1. It ensures right action. You eliminate unnecessary detours and stay on a path that moves you toward your desired destination.

2. Because Right Planning is aligned with your “Unique Definition of Success”, you accomplish more of the right things and enjoy more of your journey!

3. Right Planning is a necessary part of the creative process.

4. It helps you take the best route possible, because you honor your individual strengths and resources.

5. It’s about checking: is this goal aligned with my Personal Success Statement? Is this idea worth pursing or will it take me off course? Is it a distraction or is it aligned with the lifestyle and business you really want to create?

6. Once you've answered the question – should I do this … you're ready to move on to the next part of the Right Planning process.

This is where you tap your inner wisdom with questions such as, what is the best route given my current responsibilities, resources and priorities?

7. As you tap you inner wisdom, the doing become less work and more play. The key lies in asking yourself the right questions. Once you do, your mind will automatically search for the best answers.

Some powerful questions to align with right action are:

• How can I build on what I already have?

• Who can help me?

• What resources are best suited here – mine or someone else’s time, energy, money or expertise?

• What is the simplest and most joy-filled approach for me, given my personal talents and resources?

These questions are important because they help you accomplish more, struggle less and enjoy more of your journey.

8. Right Planning is iterative. So it’s always evolving with your current information and experiences. It allows for changes as you learn, grow and adapt.

9. Right Planning is not rigid. You stay open to opportunities that naturally appear as you align with your greatest goals and dreams!

10. Right Planning is about breaking activities into smaller, digestible chunks. This is how you build momentum and the confidence necessary to step out of your comfort zone.

Above all, Right Planning is about you catching up with who you want to be!

So have fun, expect the best and believe in your dreams!
