Think about where you want to go in life. These are your lifetime goals. Once you know want to achieve, you can plan where to focus your efforts. You will quickly spot the distractions that will sidetrack you.

It is important to remember that you goals will change over time. Feed lessons learnt back into your goal-setting programme. Adjust the goals regularly to reflect growth in your knowledge and experience.
