Epic Goal Planning

Purpose: Build awareness of where you are, what you want, and why it matters.

Reflect on your current situation:

• What are your biggest achievements this year?
• What challenges or obstacles have held you back?
• What are your core values and how do they influence your decisions?

Define your vision for the year:

• Where do you want to be by the end of the year (professionally and personally)?
• How will this vision align with your values and purpose?

Engage with your stakeholders:

• Who are the key people (mentors, peers, colleagues, family) that can help you achieve your vision?
• How can you communicate your goals effectively to gain their support?

Purpose: Transform your vision into SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals.

Set Specific Goals:

• What are the key objectives you need to achieve to fulfill your vision?
• Categorize them into personal, professional, and community impact.

Prioritize your goals:

• Which goals will create the most significant impact?
• Rank them based on your urgency and importance.

Identify action steps:

• For each goal, break it into smaller, actionable steps.
• Set deadlines or timelines for each step.

Anticipate challenges:

• What barriers might you face in pursuing these goals?
• How can you prepare or build a support system to overcome them?

Purpose: Cultivate inspiration and ensure consistent momentum throughout the year

Define your motivation:

• What inspires you to pursue these goals?
• How do these goals connect with your long-term aspirations?

Set milestones to celebrate success:

• Identify key milestones for each goal?
• Plan small celebrations or rewards for achieving these milestones.

Seek inspiration from others:

• Who are role models or thought leaders you can learn from?
• What books, podcasts, or events can fuel your journey?

Revisit your vision periodically:

• Schedule monthly or quarterly check-ins to review progress.
• Use these moments to reconnect with your "why" and adjust if needed.

Purpose: Reflect, adapt, and ensure lasting success through continuous improvement.

Review and reflect:

• At the end of each month or quarter, ask:
  • What worked well?
  • What didn't go as planned?
  • What lessons have you learned?

Adapt and Adjust:

• How can you refine your strategies based on what you've learned?
• Are there new opportunities or challenges to consider

Nurture relationships:

• Who helped you along the way, and how can you show gratitude?
• How can you mentor or inspire others based on your experience?

Set a foundation for next year:

• What habits or systems can you cultivate to build long-term success?
• What goals can you start preparing for the next year?
