Inspiration for this talk 3rd of June 2009 Ian Broom – ibroom@weboo.biz

Step 1 – Clarify your goals
What should I do first?
Goals are “ a projected state that a person intends to achieve” (wikipedia)
Write them down
Bad: I want to get better at programming
Good: I will make £1,000.00 from networking events in the next year
Discuss them with others
Write down all ideas/feedback

Step 2 – Review your goals
Review your list
Re-think over your goals
Clarify the real goals

Step 3 – Focus on your goals
Cut irrelevant tasks
Eg. registering a company before you have a product
Prioritise your goals
Get to work!

Thank you for com...
No that’s not all! Now some real nuggets...

Bounce ideas around
Get in a productive mindset
Don’t be shy, approach new people
Capture all ideas
