The 5-Step Plan introduced me to a number of things I should be aware of as I try to reach for my long term and short term goals. It allowed me to think about a vision with steps to take in order to be successful. This, in turn, would motivate me as these steps would be short term goals that I can use as 'mini' achievements that I can look back on to see what I have accomplished while trying to reach for my long-term goals. I liked the fact that I was asked why I wanted to achieve such goals. The why is what motivates me to accomplish my goals, and now I have a plan to put into action as I move forward in trying to reach my goals.
