ISHTAR - Inspiration, Strategy, Habits, Technique, Action, Revise / Repeat - Path to Accomplishing your Goals

When you first hear the word Ishtar, you may be thinking of that horrible movie that was called the worst of the decade.
Ishtar was originally the Sumerian God of beauty and fertility.

I used Ishtar as a mnemonic for achieving your goals.

I. Inspiration

Whenever you set to achieve a goal, it starts off in your mind. You need the motivation and the desire to get to where you want.
S. Strategy

Next you want to have a strategy to accomplish your goals. If you follow the 7 habits, you want to begin with the end in mind.  Know where  you  want to  go and create a  roadmap to get there.

H. Habits

When you stray off course you want have good habits that put you back on course

T. Techniques

If you don’t already have it, you need to have the technical skill to accomplish your goals. And if you don’t have it you need to find a team of people that can help you accomplish that.

A. Action

Having all the knowledge in the world is useless if you do nothing about it.

This is the most important step take Action!

Don’t just sit around and hope for things to get better, this usually doesn’t work.

R Revise and Repeat

Take notice of where you are headed and if you fall off course, don’t get flustered just jump back on to the right course
