Your timelines should be realistic and tied to your priorities. A good starting point is to know what time you will have available based on your current demands.
You may also be fortunate enough to have support to whom you can delegate some of your tasks. Your children, spouse, siblings, etc. may have time available and may be willing to invest some effort to get you where you want to go.
If you do not have support close by, it will mean that you will have to allocate a longer time to achieve your goals. This is acceptable, as long as you know and make allowance for it.
Your high-level timelines should be mapped out using the methodology below:
It is at this juncture that other skills such as organisation, delegation and time management become relevant.
An analogy that I often use when explaining the elements of execution is travel. If you live in a warm climate and you are travelling to a cold climate, you will have to know this before you leave so you can pack the clothes you need whlle you are there.
Along the way you may have a stop-over in a mid-temperate climate and, depending on how long you are stopping over, you would also have to make allowances for that. Everything, including clothes and shoes, will have to be taken into consideration.
Your business plan should be approached in the same way.
Again, having something in writing - a visual to refer to regularly - ensures that you have the mind, body, emotion connection. It will also allow you to make changes as your plans evolve.
Now that you have laid out your goals and set your timelines, it is time to affirm and become a magnet for your achievements.
To be Success in business I alway have a second thought. Cassi, thank you so much for you efforts, every of your pages that I've read was an awesome detail for me to carry on.

Setting my goals was real ok, getting the time right needed I had to work on ( and still working on) this training will help me a lot. Finding my way breaking down into little steps I finally got done. Was a journey to find my way to do it though, first used an online calendar, did not work for me, now I divide my daily time available in blocks of 30 min , with breaks of 5 min in between on paper ,hanging on my pc.
One thing learned from Jim Rohn (and his "student" Tony Robbins of which I am a huge fan too) is thinking and speaking in positive ways. It was(and is) also a pleasant surprise to hear from my colleagues at my day job that I changed for the better :-)
All the best,

Different topic, as we are both Introverts, but it applies still.
Our relationship with ourselves is critical for achievement.
If we do not that that we can and will - we don't and won't.
As simple as it sounds, it took me years to work through.
Thank you so very much for your detailed feedback.
Have a good day.
Cassi
