However, to jumpstart building your home, you need to be extra careful. Just remember that it is a one time affair. You can’t just go wrong- ever. It will be too costly. Finding “right plan” may be too difficult and confusing. How ever, it is ultimate key to success of constructing a new home. You probably have a vague idea of type of design you wanted to build. Plenty of options beckon you- thousands of designs to choose from, single story versus multistory, home style with great decoration ideas, traditional or modern type, an out door porch or an attached green house. These choices can be bewildering; putting all those ideas together and taking in to account all those tiny bits of details that go in to your home, can be very daunting and some times exasperating. How ever, a bit of smart and right thinking can lead to a series of wise decisions leading to construction of a model home.

One important way to help explain what you would like to see in your new home is to make a list of all those positives and negatives of house you used to live before. You and your spouse know by now, what you liked about that house, so just make a list of all pluses and minuses. Just sort out most liked ones and come to a proper conclusion. Add to this list, all those minute things that need to go in to your future home. Take your spouse and children in to confidence; after all you are going to live with them in your home. Once list is ready, prioritize them in to different categories. Just to lead you, here is a small check list, which can lead you to take some decisions:

To some people it means driving a flash car and flashing wads of cash around to show they are doing well. To others it is spending time with their family, having achieved happiness in their life.

Your personal idea of success, and being successful will differ from someone else's, but is very important to you. Without spending some time thinking about your success, how will you know if you are achieving it? Take some time now and think about it.

Now start working towards it, and set goals to make you successful.

Goal setting is important to your success, so you better do it right too. Here are some important things to remember about goal setting

1. break your main goal (success) into smaller ones

These small steps towards an ultimate goal are in some circles known as "eating elephant" because you couldn't eat whole elephant in one go, but cutting it into bite sized chunks makes it possible to achieve a seemingly impossible task.

2 Don't set unachievable goals- when you don't hit them they will be a major setback.

You wouldn't decide to climb mount Everest on your first hill walk or expect to build your own house because you have a new toolkit, so be realistic about your goals here too.
