The development of a plan is a necessary moment in achieving the goal, including a vision of the direction of movement towards the goal, stages and steps.
Clarify your vision of the result, formulate it specifically — usually everyone likes it and almost everyone succeeds almost immediately. What often causes difficulty is the development of a plan.
The goal attracts, but how to achieve it is not clear. Don’t know. What will help here?
People
Look for people who can help and advise. Ask them actively. These people may be in your notebook (look through it), these people may not know you yet — so go and get acquainted. This is a beautiful and typical move. For example, if you want to start your own business, find ten firms of interest to you and ask to speak with their directors (founders). If this is not a super cool company and you look decent, it turns out to be quite real: you have a half-hour conversation where a person shares memories, details, gives you advice …
You can, by the way, consider this an aptitude test: if you dare to do this and organize three such conversations for yourself, you have a good chance of opening your own business. You are an entrepreneur. If the mere thought in this direction makes you shudder, that’s also good: you realized that it seems too early for you to organize your business.
Literature
Second: look for the necessary literature, read, educate yourself. A lot can be done with the help of specialized forums — if you present yourself well there, you will easily and for free be given many valuable tips. Ask — they will answer.
