Action Plans Keep
Your Career On Target
 
By Dan Duckworth
 
What are you doing today to keep your career moving forward? And at the end of this week, will you be able to cite your accomplishments - or note what needs more attention?
 
I find that a Weekly Action Plan Checklist is a major help to staying on track. It's a down-on-paper pledge to yourself to accomplish at least one major goal in a number of areas.
 
For instance, the checklist below offers possible choices you can make each week in five critical areas of your business. The first item involves cash flow - and indeed, that's crucial. As CEO of your company, your number one responsibility is to be sure you have sufficient cash flow to operate your business properly.
 
Feel free to add other items. But most important: follow through with your plans!

1. To improve my finances (cash flow), the one specific, do-able action I will take this week is:

2. To improve my technique (product), the one specific, do-able action I will take this week is:

3. To improve my tools, the one specific, do-able action I will take this week is:

4. To improve my marketing, the one specific, do-able action I will take this week is:

5. To improve my health (physical and/or psychological), the one specific, do-able action I will take this week is:
___________________
 
 Well, what are you waiting for? Act!
