Help me: By setting your goals
The deadline for my new book, The Creative Professional’s Guide to Money, is rapidly approaching, and I am sizing up some new worksheets for possible inclusion.
This is the first of 3 worksheets, and I’d love your feedback on it. Of course, if you do the worksheet, in addition to helping me, you might be helping yourself too!
Amazing as it may seem, putting your goals in writing gets you halfway to achieving them. You don’t need a big fat plan. All you need is to think through the details of what you want to do and the steps you can take to get there.
This form is intended to spur that thinking process —one goal at a time.
Please share your feedback. What works? What would make the worksheet stronger?
Kindly email me with your thoughts and ideas, by Friday, August 13th. I appreciate your help!

Looks good. My only thought is, why five action steps? Some goals might only need three, others might need ten. Otherwise it looks good.
Also, have you considered the potential benefits of sprinkling artwork/illustrations throughout the book? Since much of your audience is visual, things like charts, cartoons, and humorous drawings can really help clarify ideas and make them more memorable, especially if the concepts are a little abstract to begin with. What do you know, I happen to be an illustrator. If you are interested in talking about it feel free to drop me a line via www.cedricstudio.com.
Overall, though, it looks good. I'm very excited to get a copy of this book!
