"So you have a Goal? So what?"
We are at this point ahead of most people who set goals. We have a clearly identified goal that we want to achieve. It is too big. It is not like I can sit down and just write a complete book in one sitting. It needs to be broken down.
The O in GOSPAL is for Objectives.
Once the goal is clear we need to break it down into several milestones. How many? I like 10 but every goal is different and you can adjust it slightly up or down. For example, it could be 12 if you need a monthly target.
So what makes a good objective. It should be clear to you by reading the objectives. Can you visualize as you read out loud the Objectives that if you accomplish those you would be able to achieve the ultimate goal?
With our example the objectives could be:
1. Create an outline
2. Add more detail to each point until each point is a page
3. Write chapters in one sitting or two in order to maintain flow
4. Print chapters, read out loud, and edit book
5. Give to friends to read
6. Edit original with comments
7. Do a final edit
8. Contact Amazon and determine rules
9 Get ISBN
10. Get copyright
11. Create cover
12. Create ebook format
13. Upload to Amazon
Today's question is:
"What are your Objectives?"
