Permission Goals
Permission goals are just what they sound like: Things you really want
and could easily have with the resources you have now, but that you
just haven’t given yourself permission for.
What’s the goal? ______________________________________________________
Why don’t you have it?

Things To Get Rid Of
Like Permission Goals, these can be extremely easy or terribly
difficult. They’re the things that exist in your life right now that you’d
be better off without. Habits, clutter, distressing people, unpleasant
environmental factors, unnecessary expenses, fixations, collections,
annoying verbal habits… Anything at all that you’d be better off
without.
Just complete each sentence, put a deadline on it and make it happen.

Main Goals
These are the things that are important to you that are left after you
take out Permission Goals and the list of things you want to get rid of.
When you list the goal, describe it. Be specific about what you want.
It’s next to impossible to achieve something without knowing what it
is that you want.

Inventory: Skills
List every skill you have, no matter how simple and obvious it may
seem. The ones that could be the key might be obvious and
unimportant-looking to you.
For instance, if you speak and write fluent Spanish and are good at
research, consider the potential for information products in the
Spanish speaking market.
List: Every job you've ever had, and what you learned from it.
Every hobby you have that requires any more skill than flipping
channels.
Every language you speak, instrument you play, and past or
present interest.
Every volunteer position you've filled.
Every incidental skill you've acquired along the way. This can be
writing, accounting, brainstorming, whatever.

Taking The Step
The step I am focusing on right now is:
________________________________________________________________________
1. What financial resources do I need to accomplish this? How much
will it cost? Will I need credit? A consistent level of income?
Insurance? Real estate?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
2. What skills will I need to achieve this? What do I need to know how
to do?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
3. What contacts will I need to achieve this? Who can help me get
there? Who do I know, and who do they know? What do I need to do in
return? (Or in advance...)

4. How much time will this stage take? Overall? Per day?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
5. What systems will I need to have in place to achieve this? Will I
need help, or can I do it alone? What technology is necessary? What
will help speed this up?
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
