What's the Reward of Getting It Done? Getting It Done? So What Is There to Do? Just Go For It!
This Squidoo lens is devoted to exploring how we can learn to discern good opportunities and realize that we have the background, education, knowledge, and skills necessary to bring this new angle to fruition. How we can find open doors of opportunity that we can take advantage of to improve our circumstances. We have this God-given ability to create things... here is an exploration of how we can use this ability.
Sometimes, in order to GO FOR IT, you must have a GOAL! A GOAL is a dream with a deadline. Start planning and Go For It!
Going For Decorations? Or for Wearing It? Look No Further!
Want to Travel to Places Like Hong Kong? Start Planning and Go for It!
Getting Things Done Sometimes Requires a Plan!
And, it helps if your goal has a SCHEDULE!
Okay. if you want something, you must want to DO something.If you want something, there's a good chance that you must DO something to get the something you want. And sometimes, your goal is more than a dream. A dream is just that, a dream. But for it to become reality, the dream must become a goal with a deadline.
Once you have a deadline, you now must come up with the various tasks and resources you'll need to achieve your goal. You may also need to study up on the specifics that your goal requires--what special skills or knowledge will you need to achieve your goal? What kind of investment of time or money or effort will this goal require.
Then, working backward from your goal, start filling in the blanks--with what is required to get there. Before you reach the goal or achieve what you want, what is required? What do you need to do before that? And before that? And before that? You may need to adjust your time or deadline to accomodate all the things you need to do to reach your goal.
This is how you Plan Your Project!

Examples and Scenarios where Folks MADE IT HAPPEN!
Well, maybe not in the ways you'd expect, but stuff DID happen!
Okay, yeah... these are comedies... some funnier than others... but they all show some guy who has struggled with making it and has barriers of all sorts dumped in his lap. But they choose to do the unconventional and think "outside the box"... and get IT DONE anyway. The results are sometimes what was expected and sometimes the results are totally in a different direction than what was originally planned--but no matter the case, the creativity winds up producing a great result!

- My central thingy before I get it done is always the visualization process ... I picture er visualize it all in my head first and then I get physically started.
