Congratulations on reaching Day 5 on your 7 days to a new goal journey! MDRT Bootcamp Master Trainer Jensen Siaw shares how to chart your course to reach your goal.
In case you missed it:
DAY 1: DISCOVERING WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE
DAY 2: MAKING NEW EMPOWERED CHOICES
Day 3: BEING TRUE TO YOUR DESIRES
DAY 4: SETTING YOUR SIGHTS
Before we proceed, have you done your visualisation exercise for today? If you have not, take a few minutes to visualise what you would see, hear and feel when you have achieved your GOAL. Remember to do this every day. The power of this simple exercise is phenomenal!
Learning points:
Design your action plan
Now that you have specified your GOAL, the next step would be to chart your course – PLAN. As the saying goes, “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail”.
Though planning doesn’t guarantee success, it does tremendously increase the likelihood of success. So yes, it’s time to PLAN. How to PLAN?
Using the ACTION PLAN MATRIX below, develop a series of actions that you need to execute to achieve your GOAL.
Here’s an example:
MY GOAL: To be popular among 90% of my peers

Day 5 Exercise
In today’s exercise, you will chart your Action Plan using the 5Ws & 1H concept. Below is the ACTION PLAN MATRIX that will assist you in formulating your plans.
There isn’t a perfect way of using it, and the best way is the way that makes sense to you and works for you.
Give yourself about 20 - 30 minutes to work on this. If you do not have the answers for any of the boxes now (or it may not be applicable), you can always come back to it later. Along the way, you could also revise this
ACTION PLAN MATRIX. Take your time, and let’s begin.
