Setting goals helps you identify where you want to go, what you will need along the way, and whether you are on course.

• Set realistic goals. Consider educational, financial and personal goals.
• Prioritize – what matters most to you?
• Make a plan and determine what resources you need to achieve these goals.
• Track your progress.
• Congratulate yourself when you’ve reached a milestone!
