While we apply evaluation processes to many aspects of transition, have you ever used a process to evaluate your post-military goals and Dreams? If so could you share that process.

The process used by High Performers uses the following 10 factors to evaluate their dreams and goal:
1. Future Identity - Can you see yourself as that person?
2. Intrinsic Value - Would you pursue this dream no matter what?
3. Utility Value - Does this bring something tangible & real into your life?
4. Opportunity Cost - (everyone messes this one up) If I pursue this what is the cost to family, friends, social circles etc.
5. Delay Time - How much time will pass between the time you start till you see reward?
6. Personal Control - Do you feel that you alone can make this happen?
7. Social Support - Are the people that are important to you going to support you?
8. Bandwith Belief - Do you have enough time to pursue this goal or dream?
9. Resource Availability - Do you have the resources available to you or can you put the necessary resources together to achieve your goal or dream?
10. Autonomy - Have you give yourself permission and do you TRUST yourself to go do it?

MSgt (Private), Following that dream will be the most satisfying experience of your life. It's supported by 20 years of built up passion. Just for the fun of it, ask yourself those 10 questions and see what you come up with. I would like to now your results. Just whether you think it helped.
