Inspire Greatness Action Plans · before you begin
A little about you
Yearly Dreams
Eleven short answers. Two are required; the rest take a few seconds and shape the examples and the follow-up you get.
Who is filling out this action plan
You are about to start “Yearly Dreams”. Your plan is kept against the details below.
What this plan is for
How Yearly Dreams fits your life right now. Pick what is true today; you can change it any time.
You and Inspire Greatness
All optional. Answering changes nothing about your plan; it only tells us how you found it and whether we are already working together.
Why we are asking
An action plan is personal. The same year reads differently for a founder, a new hire and a student, and Yearly Dreams is about the year in front of you. Your name and email keep your plan with you and bring you your copy when you submit it. The rest tells us whose plan this is, so the examples, the follow-up and any support fit your situation and not a textbook one. Everything except your name and email is optional.

In Yearly Dreams this page comes right after Become Your Own Hero. Your picks carry into every plan.
Pick at least one in each group.
Part 3 · Motivation and belief
Do you believe?
“Belief plays a fundamental role in the success of any endeavor.” From the plan's Motivation and Belief page.
Remember: keep goals in numerical order as you use them in different action plans.
Belief level: on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, how much do you believe in the stated goal? If your belief level is less than an 8, you can build it up or switch to a goal that is a level 8 or above.
Do you believe that you will accomplish your goals/dreams?
Your belief level
“On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, how much do you believe in the stated goal?”
In Yearly Dreams you rate your belief here, and again for your yearly goal in Part 4.

Part 4 · The Yearly Grind
Clarify your yearly goals and expectations
Decide on your top outcomes you want to accomplish this year. This could be creating a personal budget, making $5,000 this month, cooking a healthy meal, or starting a business. You get to decide. That is the key. So “checking Facebook” would not count. (Less words = more action.)
When you have written your yearly goal, take at least 2 minutes to visualize (with enthusiasm) in detail the benefits of reaching it. Take at least 2 more minutes to feel passion about obtaining the benefits of reaching your goals now. (Use a vision board, goals written down, and your imagination.) As a man thinks in his heart, so is he!
Example: Start my business. Graduate from college.
Definition: An outcome is a result you can check at the end of the year: done or not done, reached or not reached.
Business example: Open a second location. Double our recurring clients. Hire a full-time manager.
Explainer: Clear outcomes decide what your year is for. Few words keep them sharp enough to act on.
Example: Phone down at 9 p.m., so I start every morning rested.
Definition: A habit is something you do without deciding to, every day or every week. Changing one changes the whole year.
Business example: Stop answering client calls after 7 p.m.; send a next-morning text instead.
Explainer: One habit, changed and kept for 52 weeks, does more for the year than a long list of resolutions.
Example: Start my business and land my first five clients.
Definition: Goal 1 is the one goal that matters most this year. Every month in the tracker is a step toward it.
Business example: Open our second location by the end of the year.
Explainer: Part 6 breaks this goal into twelve months. Rating your belief first tells you whether to build it up or pick another goal that keeps you on track.
Part 5 · Your time
How much time are you wasting?
“24 hours in one day. 168 hours in one week. 730 hours in one month. 8,760 hours in one year.” Yearly Dreams' time page.
Part 6 · The 12-month goal tracker
Fill out the 12-month goal tracker
Key Point: Every goal you set for yourself should increase your overall value! For Goal 1, your yearly goal from Part 4, write the step you will take in each month of the year. (A goal can be business, school, training, purpose, service and more.)
Month 1 is the month you start this plan. Keep each step to a few words you can check off: less words = more action.
Months 1 to 3
Example: Pick the business name and register it.
Definition: A monthly step is one finished piece of your yearly goal: done or not done by the end of that month.
Business example: Sign the lease for the second location.
Explainer: Twelve steps you can check off make the yearly goal real: every month knows its job.
Months 4 to 6
Months 7 to 9
Months 10 to 12
