I will start by saying that to achieve any short or long term goals having a type of goal plan is a must. My short term goal that I plan on achieving is obtaining my certificate in medical billing and coding. My long term goal I plan on achieving is obtaining a job as a medical coder and making that my career. A good way to make your goals happen is to prioritize and monitor them! Keeping track of your goal and seeing your progress is very helpful. While working towards my goals I also like to celebrate any successes along the way, which gives motivation to continue pursuing any of the long term goals. There are many online tools available as well for people to use to help with goal planning
