Author, goal coach, and project catalyst Debra Eckerling created the DEB Method to help people identify a path to their goals. The first step is to determine your mission – what are your desired results? Next, explore your options – figure out how you can get what you want. Finally, brainstorm your path. By starting with a clear vision of your end goal, you can work backwards and set realistic goals along the way with achievable deadlines, and finally make your dreams a reality.
