S.T.O.R.M. (Part II)
As I said last week, few things in this world have the raw power & energy of a storm. You can create your own personal S.T.O.R.M. of Success by doing the following:
Stop
Take Inventory
Organize
Reflect
Move It
In last week’s post I wrote about the first step of S.T.O.R.M. which is to STOP. Today I will address the next step which is to…
TAKE INVENTORY!
Take Inventory of where you have been, where you are, and where you want to be - Take Inventory of your resources, talents, abilities, relationships, and all that you have to help you reach your goals. Know that your ultimate Success Story starts with a Personal Inventory.
You must know yourself and what matters most to you, and it is crucial to Take Inventory of all your resources that can help you get what you want.
I suggest you make it a somewhat formal Inventory, meaning don’t just think about your Inventory, but rather WRITE your Inventory down. It’s makes the process far more powerful. If you want to be even more creative with the way you Take Inventory try creating a Mind Map instead of just writing it down in a linear fashion (although this works fine, too). Mind Maps look kind of like this:
This particular Mind Map was created using Mind Manager 8 from mindjet.com. They happen to offer a 30-day free trial if you want to give it a go.
So, remember, to build your S.T.O.R.M. of Success, first STOP, then TAKE INVENTORY. Be sure to tune in next week when I will be writing about the next step of S.T.O.R.M. - Organize!
To Your Success!
