  compare your options you analyze each option and
  what would happen with each. When you evaluate

  solved through the use of each option.

  this step you will choose among the options you
  have identified.

  your decision, you are ready to make a plan of
  action and set some goals.

• Short term goal
• A short-term goal is something you would like to
  accomplish in the near future, within a day, a
  week, or even a few months from now.
• Long term goal
• Long-term goals are the ones that you will
  achieve over a longer period of time, such as
  from one to twenty years. The long term goal is
  the hardest but most important goal to achieve.
  Most people have trouble reaching this goal
  because it is later in the future.
