Seek Clarification: The first step toward moving your thoughts into positive action is to clarify exactly what it is you want to accomplish. This requires seeing the end result before you take any action. Questions such as; what do you want to accomplish? How will it look? Who will be impacted as a result? Of course there are many other questions which can be asked to help clarify your actions.

Get Educated: The next step following clarification is gaining the knowledge necessary to successfully complete your actions. This is the time to learn all you can about the variables and elements which will be needed for success. Will you need specialized knowledge, tools, or licensing? Taking the time to get fully educated can prevent any delays or obstacles later on down the road.

Access Resources: During the first two steps it should have become apparent exactly what resources may be needed to accomplish your actions. Many of things necessary for accomplishing your actions can be supplied by you, but there may be other resources you will have to access. Will you need money, or the specialized skills of others? Is teamwork a component, or can you do it alone. Identify, and make a list of resources you will need.

Create Action Steps: A great way to plan, stay organized and hold your self accountable is to create action steps. The action steps are the tasks you need to accomplish to move your thoughts toward a positive outcome. Keep in mind you may have to start off with small action steps and move toward larger ones as you gain momentum. Also, each action step should contain a deadline for completion to keep you moving forward timely.

In summary, always start your personal process by clarification your thoughts, and ask the right questions. Next, learn everything you can about successfully creating a positive outcome. Don’t be afraid to enlist the help of others, their experience and skill can be invaluable to you. Lastly, create an organized plan, with deadlines, and begin completing the action steps one by one.
