Brick Walls and Glass Ceilings Part II: How to Knock Your Roadblocks Down

Roadblock #1: All talk, no action.

Instead of daydreaming about how great your life would be if you reached your goal, take action.

Strategy: 
Adapt the adage “There’s no time like the present.” Set goals that are SMART—Specific, Measurable,Attainable, Relevent, and Time-Bound. Taking this important first step will break the cycle of daydreaming and will start a cycle of doing. For every goal you set, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What exactly do you want to happen, and why?
  • What milestones can you implement to measure your progress?
  • Is your goal within your reach, given your skills, experience, and resources?
  • What is the date by which you hope to accomplish your goal?
