Planning a business and planning your life as a whole helps a lot to see the future. A plan consisting of strategic and tactical goals will allow you to see in retrospect which actions have been successful and which have been wasted. To compose a tree of goals, use brainstorming as their generator.

To make the goal generator work, take a pen, a notebook and start writing down your most global goals. They will relate to the main areas in your life. Draw a circle and in these sectors write these topics. It can be "Family", "Career", "Passion", "Travel", "Training", "Health" and so on. At this stage, it is important to find all the main topics in your life and fix them in a circle.

Now you need to detail these topics. Now, for each topic, draw a separate circle and in it also begin to fill the sectors with significant moments for this topic. That will help you fully realize in this particular area of your life. For example, in the “Family” circle, you may see the following sectors: “Husband”, “Child”, “Household”, “Dog”. In the circle "Business" - "Phone", "Meetings", "Trips", "Contacts" and so on. Further you can go even deeper into the details and draw a circle on each sector. That is, you can name a separate circle "Household" and paint it in more detail.

For convenience, you can draw not a circle, but a tree. That is, your life will be at the base of this tree, then the branches "Family", "Career", "Passion", "Travel", "Training", "Health" will go, and from them there will already be smaller branches. The more detailed you work out your goals, the larger your tree will be.

Now it’s important to make your goal generator work. Here you will need to set aside the graphics and write to the line. So, start with the smallest twigs. Let it be a branch "Advanced training" from the trunk "Career". You need to write a sentence, answering successively the questions “Who?”, “Where?”, “When?”, “How much?” or "what?" Moreover, it is necessary to answer not in the future tense, but in the present. For example: May 22, 2012 in Moscow I attended the All-Saints training.
Who! - I AM;
Where? - In Moscow;
When? - May 22, 2012;
What? - training of All Saints.

In the same way, you will need to paint all sectors or branches. No need to neglect the smallest points. They will be intermediate goals, which, as a rule, are easy to achieve. Fill out these notepads with your suggestions and mark the completion. By reading the notes daily, you will program your subconscious mind and consciousness to fulfill your goals.

Always put the pros in front of accomplished goals. They will show that you can truly achieve your goals. Starting with the insignificant, you yourself will not notice how you begin to achieve your most ambitious goals. Seeing this, you will enjoy the process of planning and implementing goals. At the same time, major failures will not greatly upset you, but let small victories become the key to your orientation to success.

Regular compilation of the goal tree will help you not only reach heights in those areas that you considered to be the main ones, but also open your eyes to what you had not noticed before.
