You want to do all the things you planned to do when you retire and yet the tasks you’ve set yourself seem to be impossible to achieve. So instead of getting started you sit and think about what you plan and worry that you would never be able to do what you really want to do. You are aware how being older may slow you down and things which seemed easy a few years ago take longer to do now.
If the size of your goal scares you there is a simple way to make sure you achieve what you want simply and quickly.
What you must do is to break a large goal into smaller steps or ‘chunks’. So instead of thinking you have to take a giant leap and get to your goal in just one huge leap you can get there gradually, step by step, bite by bite.
Imagine for a moment that your goal was to climb a high mountain. You wouldn’t just set out one day and expect to reach the summit without any preparation, would you? No, you would plan the steps you need to take. The initial steps might be making sure you have the right clothing, equipment, food and maps. Each of these might take some time to organise.
Next, you might find someone who already knows the way to come with you, at least some of the way to point you in the right direction. Before you start your climb you would plan where you to rest or stay overnight on the way; what first aid equipment you would take with you and what you would do in case of accident, illness or other emergency.
Just like an expedition to climb a mountain, achieving any important goal needs preparation so you are all set for the journey and any eventuality which may happen along the way.
Let me help you achieve what you want. Start with an ABC strategy session to sort out what action you need to take, how your beliefs may be stopping you taking it and gain the clarity to know what to do next.

You need to be fit enough to take on your challenge and have the support or guidance from a mentor, friend or guide to accompany you along some of your journey for change. These are the small steps you must take to reach your goal more easily than if you try to take a huge jump and try to get from here to there in one big stride.
