Identify your standards before you begin projects. When you see your criteria, you may refine them, setting an even better course. With the clarity that comes from creating and organizing a list, you&#8217;ll be more likely to set an effective action plan to achieve each goal. New ideas will emerge!<br \/>\nHere are a few tips to setting standards for success.<br \/>\n1 &#8211; Keep it simple. You&#8217;ll understand your standards better and be able to share them with others more easily.<br \/>\n2 &#8211; Make it measurable.  You&#8217;ll  be able to make more objective evaluations during and after your efforts.<br \/>\n3 &#8211; Seek support. Collaborate with others who have additional skills. They&#8217;ll be able to help you accomplish specific tasks more successfully. They may also provide you with useful feedback.<br \/>\n4 &#8211; Celebrate success. Before moving on, enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done and reenergize, both with yourself and with others.<br \/>\n5 &#8211; Review and revise. Take time to evaluate your progress both during and after a project. Course correction is both the secret to getting there and to going farther.<br \/>\nIdentifying your standards for success doesn&#8217;t keep you from exceeding them (quite the opposite), it will help you find useful perspectives and enjoy the successes you have achieved.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/downloads\/creativity\/creativity.php\">Find more Creativity resources here.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpaulcaponigro.com\/workshops\/\">Stimulate your creativity in my workshops.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evaluating Success Specify your standards for success to help you realize how far you&#8217;ve come and when you&#8217;ve arrived.
