Summer Success Plan

You have to know where you're going if you're ever going to get there!

Create a roadmap with mile markers for a successful summer! (Summer is a GREAT time to knock some items off the to-do list, slim down, and optimize your life!)

#1 Pick your PRIMARY goal.

For example "I will lose 15 pounds by August 10, 2015" or "I will save $1,500 by August 10, 2015"

#2 Choose three (3) things you are willing to do consistently to achieve that Result.

Weight-Loss Example: I will follow the meal plans each week. I will limit alcohol to two glasses of wine per week. I will do yoga for 10 minutes per day.

Money Saving Example: I will immediately set aside $50 from each paycheck. I will not buy any new clothes. I will meal plan and limit eating out to once per week.

#3 Explain how you will celebrate your success.

Weight-Loss Example: I will buy a new pair of jeans. Money Saving Example: I will take a personal day and read a book.

#4 Explain how you will feel when you reach your goal:

Weight-Loss Example: I will feel sexier, healthier, and more confident! Money Saving Example: I will feel relieved and more financially secure.

#5 {BONUS} Pick two small projects or bucket-list items to complete this summer.

Examples: "I will organize my pantry." "I will go zip lining." "I will take a yoga class." "I will practice two yoga poses per day"

#6 Create a scorecard for mile markers to track your progress.

For example, create 8 boxes with dates of each week to record and track your weight-loss or money saving progression.

Or if you resolved to, say, walk 300,000 steps by August 10, 2015, you could write various benchmarks (i.e. 25,000, 100,000, 250,000 with a space to write the date you achieved that goal).

PREMIUM MEMBERS: A fill-in-the-blank worksheet and scorecard is available for download in the forums. (You can also connect with other members to find an accountabilibuddy) You'll also find several examples for inspiration and ideas :)
