The seven steps to goal setting

  Your life can't go according to plan if you have no PLAN!
                       If you Fail to Plan, You Plan to Fail


   The seven steps to goal setting

1.  Identify the Goal & Write down the goal ( be specific )
2.  Set deadlines, one month, two months, 1 year, ect. and set a completion date
3.  List all the obstacles you need to overcome in obtaining your Goal
4.  Identify the people, organizations, etc. you need to work with.
                                                                     "BE - DO - Have"
5.  List skills, knowledge, etc. you will need ( what kind of person do you need to "BE", to achieve your goal ) Most people think that they have to have something, before they can  do something, and then they can "BE" someone.  That is opposite thinking, you have to BE the right kind of person to DO what you need to do before you can have the things you want to HAVE.
Write down what you would like to "HAVE", then write down what you need to "DO" to have what you want to "HAVE", then write down what kind of a person do you need to "BE", to "DO" what you need to do to have what you want to "HAVE".
Develop a plan
6.  List benefits of reaching your Goal (Is this what is best for me and everyone I will be surrounding myself with)
7.  Make sure your goals are balanced. You need to set goals for Physical, Family, Financial, Social, Spiritual, Mental, and Career. Successful people know how to have balance in their life.

                 Ask these five questions about your goals: Is it really my goal? . Is it morally right and fair to everyone? Will reaching this goal take me closer to or further from my major objective in life? Can I emotionally commit myself to start and finish this project? Can I "see" myself reaching this goal? Visualize the Goals. When the outlook is bleak, remain positive.
Benefit to You –Making better plans and Working with motivated people will make 2010
                                                                 a very productive year.

If you’re always taught there is one right answer. it hampers your flexible thinking

Flexibility – If you’re always taught there is one right answer. it hampers your flexible thinking. Similarly, children often taught “the right way or “This is how we do it.” While this way might be faster, any chance of flexible thinking is lost because they no longer feel the need to seek out new methods and new answers. A great way to encourage flexible thinking, and perhaps even learn something yourself, is to ask how can we do this? while teaching. You might have an answer in mind, but it encourages kids to first think critically about the solution. DON'T FORGET TO GO TO THE BLOGS I POSTED go to blogs

Rolo’s two core divisions: 1) Consulting and 2)Technology Curriculum Creation, work to actualize it’s two fold charter:
  • To increase the employability of youth using technology and entertainment based software applications
  • To use technology to improve humanity.
Rolo’s Consulting division is actively engaged in a worldwide, 100-city replication effort of the famous Pittsburgh based Manchester Craftsmen Guild — a state of the art, world-class community resource center. Manchester Craftsman Guild’s inaugural replication center, slated for opening 2003 will be in San Francisco; in the Bayview Hunters Point area of the city and aptly named BAYCAT (Bayview-Hunters Point Center for Arts & Technology).

By combining the power of music, film and sports with the practicality of technology, Rolo has transformed the innovative business based application MusicTabs and other Tabs technologies into an interactive curriculum module. This will offer educators and students an opportunity to create projects in a way that is not only interesting and engaging, but also teaches real life marketable skills used in:
  • Web production
  • Audio and video editing
  • Internet "rich media" development
  • Presentations
  • Analog and digital film
  • Image processing
  • Reporting and communications
Rolo’s Technology Curriculum Creations focus:
  1. To engage teenagers and/or students in active, hands-on learning.
  2. To provide students with a flexible skill set, including literacy in both "old" and new media.
  3. To provide positive mentors and role models for disadvantaged youth, introducing them to industry professionals
  4. To enrich the educational experience of students by encouraging meaningful interaction with the community
  5. To showcase youth-authored work illustrating the importance of community-based technology initiatives.
  6. To encourage underrepresented minority youth to pursue careers in technology and new media design.

Knowledge Workers

Knowledge workers in today's workforce are individuals who are valued for their ability to act and communicate with knowledge within a specific subject area. They will often advance the overall understanding of that subject through focused analysis, design and/or development. They use research skills to define problems and to identify alternatives. Fueled by their expertise and insight, they work to solve those problems, in an effort to influence company decisions, priorities and strategies.
Knowledge workers may be found across a variety of information technology roles, but also among professionals like teachers, librarians, lawyers, architects, physicians, nurses, engineers and scientists. As businesses increase their dependence on information technology, the number of fields in which knowledge workers must operate has expanded dramatically.
