After completing my post-graduate educational experience, I found that while it is tough to juggle a full-time job and an almost-full-time college course load, you can succeed in going back to school at any stage of life. You just need to work hard, stay focused and very organized, and keep your eyes on the end goal.

Some of us are born planners. Some of us are not. But, the truth is that some things require a plan. If you’re going on vacation you don’t just get in the car and drive. You have a destination picked out and a plan to get there. The plan might include what route you’ll take, how many miles you’ll drive each day, where you’ll get gas, and where you’ll stop and rest. Getting to your destination is your goal and how you’ll get there is your Action Plan. Setting goals can help you accomplish whatever you set out to do. In this book you’ll find step-by-step instructions on how to set SMART goals and create your personal Action Plan. You’ll be in charge of setting your own goals. You’ll be the one figuring out what you need to do and setting a time frame for doing it. But, there will be plenty of concrete examples to help you along the way. You can stop dreaming and start doing today.
