7. Ecology: What will you gain or lose in achieving this goal?

• Will you lose anything that you now have by achieving this goal? This means thinking about your goal in a holistic sense, including its effects on your other goals, other areas of your life and how it might affect other people you care for.
• E.g. “Am I ready for a promotion as I become a competent presenter?” “How will my success affect my current working buddies?” “I will need to spend more time and money on this endeavor, which will mean lesser time for myself and my family, am I prepared for it?”

8. Worthwhile: What will achieving this outcome get for you? Or what is so important to you about achieving this outcome?

• When we are clear about how our outcome will fulfill the important things that we value, we will obviously be more motivated to do it.

9. Action: What and when is your first step in getting this goal into motion?

• Knowing what to do is not as important as doing what you know. Break your goal down to manageable steps and take action now.
• E.g. “I’ve got to go now, and fill up the registration form for the Trainer’s training.” 

Those 9 steps are sure to make your goals achievable as they help you write out your goal in detail, think about the prevetions, and set a definite date and a clear action plan, which lead you step by step to your goal. Let’s act on them and act now!
