Building Your Strategic Plan
With your big picture vision defined, I will guide you through breaking down goals into actionable steps balanced across all areas of your life. Key elements of a strategic plan include:
- Core Values: Your guiding principles that inform all decisions.
- Long-Term Goals: Macro milestones you aim to achieve in 5-10 years.
- Shorter-Term Goals: Stepping stones sequenced to lead to long-term goals.
- Metrics and Targets: Concrete, measurable markers of progress.
- Timeframes: Deadlines and schedules for completion.
- Needed Resources: Relationships, tools, skills or funding required.
- Potential Obstacles: Challenges to prepare contingency plans for.
- Accountability Structures: Checkpoints to review progress and adapt.
With this comprehensive roadmap, you will stay focused and motivated through the ups and downs of achievement. I will provide course correction when needed so you always move closer to your vision.
Integrating the Plan into Your Life
With strategic plan in hand, it’s time to start executing. This is where the magic happens.
I will have regular check-ins to review your progress, provide encouragement, and keep you on track through challenges. Ongoing coaching ensures you stick to your plan and manifest results.
Here are some best practices I recommend clients integrate their plan into daily life:
- Review it morning and night to keep your goals top of mind.
- Break it down into bite-sized daily actions that accumulate.
- Use productivity tools like apps, journals and timers to stay on track.
- Communicate your plan often to build your support system.
- Accept imperfection – progress requires patience and resilience.
- Analyze metrics regularly to quantify results and stay motivated.
- Adjust timeframes or tactics when needed while retaining the end goal.
- Reward yourself after milestone achievements to celebrate wins.
With your coach guiding this process, your vision will materialize faster. Accountability is crucial.
Expanding Your Support Network
A common coaching recommendation is to share your goals and strategic plan with trusted loved ones. This expanded support network offers:
- Motivation and encouragement when you struggle.
- Celebration and pride in your wins big and small.
- Loving accountability to keep going.
- Help spotting blind spots in your thinking.
- Inspiration from their own growth.
- Needed aid with childcare, rides, or meals during busy times.
Choose who to share your plan with wisely. Surround yourself only with positive people who want the best for you. Limit interactions with those who discourage you from dreaming big.
Your supporters will become your tribe. They will nurture you as you nurture your best future. Leaning on others for help is a sign of strength.
Troubleshooting Setbacks with Your Coach
Despite your detailed strategic plan, setbacks will happen. Unexpected obstacles will block your path. Motivation will ebb and flow.
This is perfectly normal! It is resilience that determines your success.
As your coach, I will help you navigate the ups and downs with positivity and adaptability. When you face setbacks, I will guide you to:
- Get perspective by zooming out to see the big picture.
- Separate temporary frustration from your true vision to re-ground yourself.
- Brainstorm creative solutions instead of ruminating on problems.
- Adjust your plan’s timeframes or tactics while retaining the end goal.
- Practice self-compassion and patience with the process.
- Focus on progress made rather than perfection.
- Ask your support network for help, reassurance or inspiration.
- Replenish your mental and physical energy to boost your mindset.
With my troubleshooting expertise, you will turn obstacles into opportunities for growth. You will gain confidence in your ability to course-correct when challenges arise. Your strategic plan will keep you on track regardless.
