- troyclark 12y agoLong time reader, this is my first time posting :) Thanks for the welcome!
- stephengoodwin 12y agoGreat post. You're way ahead of me when I was 17. Just my 2 cents: First, set a goal (which you've done with this post). Then, develop a plan of action steps with deadlines. If you hit your action steps by your deadline, celebrate! If you miss your deadline, reassess and ask yourself: Am I doing too much? Is the scope too big? Do I need to give myself more time? Finally, check in with yourself every 1-3 months to see if you're satisfied with your progress, or if you should change course. P.S. Don't forget to enjoy your last year of high school. You'll have many opportunities to build businesses, but you only go through high school (and college) once.
- troyclark 12y agoThanks for the advice Stephen, I'll definitely remember that in the future. I agree that one of the best ways to meet a goal (and one that has worked for me in the past) is to write down goals and cross them off as they are completed. For some reason, this boosts my productivity like crazy.
