It used to be everytime I tried to make a change I had to sit down and start from scratch, re-thinking what I needed to factor in to weigh the pros and cons of the change, whether or not it was good to consider it now, etc. 

Did you ever wish you had a simple blueprint for making important small  or large changes?  Here are the ten fundamental change steps that I use, share with clients and you can use.  I talk about them in more detail on the change portion of my ”The 3 C’s for Effective Living – change, creativity & communication” double-audiotape.

1:   Where am I now?

2:   What’s missing today?

3.   What do I most value at this time? 

4:   What motivates me now? 

5:   What is most important for me to focus on now? 

6:   What other life issues are pressing or pending? 

7:   If this were provided, would it fulfill what’s missing? 

8:   What am I willing to let go of to create that vision? 

9:   What do I need to learn or unlearn to move forward? 

10:  What actions do I need to take today and tomorrow to move me closer to getting there?

If you follow a plan for your changes, do you include these or similar steps?
