This document presents a personalized success plan to help the reader achieve their goals. It discusses how most people have already achieved success in the past through their actions and resilience. The reader is guided to identify a past success of their own and the actions they took to achieve it, such as getting expert help or practicing everyday. They are then coached to relate these past successful actions to their current goals and develop a success plan outlining the initial steps needed and actions to stay on track. Connecting to past wins helps boost confidence that the reader can once again take purposeful actions to accomplish their goals.

1. Your
Personalized
Success Plan
Live Large with Elizabeth B. Crook
presents:

2. You are standing on the cliff’s
edge. Looking out at what could
be possible. You are ready to
jump. Ready to soar. Ready to
leap toward your next goal.
And yet, you find yourself saying,
“Ready, Set, Set, Set…” and you
can’t get yourself to GO! Why do
we get cold feet or sweaty palms
when we think about going for
what we want?

3. I have learned to shift the conversation
with my negative inner voice.
I could do this!
How did I know? Because I’d done it
before.

4. To move beyond, “set, set, set…” and
get to GO!
Count the times when you were
successful in the past.

5. Most of us minimize how
resourceful we have been in the
past.
We have already achieved
success many times.

6. From my past:
Becoming Bilingual at Age 30
When I moved to Latin American at age
30, I had to learn the language of my
new home land. It was important! Not
doing that was not an option. My ability
to find my place and create a life
depended on it.
Actions I took:
• Made a commitment
• Got expert help
• Practiced EVERYDAY with my
teacher
• Adopted the method to suit what I
knew about my own learning style
• Spoke even if it wasn’t perfect
• Allowed myself to be a beginner

7. Take a minute and note down
three successes/achievements in
the past:
For each one, write down actions
that you took that lead to your
being successful.

8. Take a moment to look at each of the successes
you’ve had and the actions that lead to that
success:
What themes do you notice?
What actions did you take in all these
situations?
What actions were most helpful to get you
started and move forward?
Which actions helped you to sustain
momentum?

9. Now consider the goal or achievement
you want to reach:
Why is reaching this goal important?
What does accomplishing this goal
feel like? Look like? Smell like? Taste
like?

10. Advice to self:
With your goal in mind and
considering past success, what advice
does your past self want to give you
present self?
What do you need to let go of to move
forward?
What words do you need to hear right
now to give you the courage and
confidence to move forward?

11. Your Success Plan:
What is the first step you need to take to start moving forward? By
when?
What are some steps from previous successes?
Which steps are applicable today for this next goal?
What additional actions are applicable to your desired goal?
