The Black Belt Success Cycle

• Know what you want

• Have a plan
• Find a success coach
• Take consistent action
• Review your progress
• Renew Your goal

Our students use the Black Belt Success Cycle during their every day life.  First, you must decide, "what you want." Whether your goal is to earn a bachelor's degree, obtain a certain job, or open your own business.  Then you must decide what steps you are going to take to accomplish your goal, that is, to "have a plan."  For example, if your goal is to earn a bachelor’s degree, you make a list of what you must do to attain the degree, register for school, set-aside time for studying, etc.  A "success coach," is someone you choose that will support you during your difficult times and good times as you are attaining your goal.  Your success is dependent on your consistency.  You will only be successful in attaining your goal if you "take consistent action."  That means, do not give up, no matter what.  Another important factor is to "review your progress," re-evaluate how much you have accomplished within a certain period of time.  Take a step back and decide if you have followed the Black Belt Success Cycle.  Finally, "renew your goals." This helps you to keep motivated and focused.
