setting goals and following through

i remember i had huge goals but didnt have a clue how to achieve them . one day i wrote down some goals to accomplish for the year on paper and actually laid out a plan on how to accomplish it. one goal was to save 20k in 1 year, which making $10 an hour working for my parents at the time was a big goal but seemed impossible to reach but my plan to get there worked on paper. you see i lived at home with my parents so i didnt have rent or food. i had a $500 geo prizm and to give away my age it only cost me $10 to fill it up. i would live on only $100 a week and i would put back $400 and first goal was to save $1000 then 2000,then 3000 then 5000 then 7500 then 10000 then 15000 and finally 20k and that way i made the first goal easy to hit and each goal i hit made it easier to progress to the 20k. once i hit that goal in 1 year i never stopped i kept growing it from there on forward but that experience gave me the blueprint on how to make a goal and achieve it. so every year i put goals of what i would like to achieve for the year down on paper and make plans on how to achieve them and get to work hope this helps
