"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." — Henry Ford

Good morning,

This morning we are going to look at breaking down goals into smaller mini goals. This is a great tactic to use on long term goals. When you set a long term goal, it's long term because your not going to be able to achieve it over night.

You must learn to have mini goals within the long term goals. Let's take Henry Ford for example. Here is a man that needed to continuously produce not only one automobile but thousands of automobiles as quickly an efficiently as possible. So, how did he do it? He came up with the assembly line. What this did was to break the task of making an automobile into smaller segments. They would start from the beginning, and at the end of the line, wa la, your finished automobile.

That's what we have to learn to do. We have to design our own assembly line for building our goal. Start with the goal in mind. The goal in mind should be your end result. What you want to achieve. Now, you need to design your assembly line on paper, in steps, in small segments. When you are done with your assembly line, you just start from the beginning and work your way to the end. Now, as your moving thru the assembly line, you must have some quality control to inspect what your doing. You might find that you might have to add another part or even remove a part for your assembly line to be productive as you go along. So always monitor your assembly line and add or remove parts as needed.

People usually know how to achieve a goal, but they just don't ever take the action to go for it. So learning to break it down into smaller steps is easier to handle than wondering how your going to achieve the big goal. Break it down, build your assembly line and you shall succeed.

Until next time, always be aware of your decisions that shape your destiny!
