If there are good reasons for not following through on this plan, we can always renegotiate different goals or steps. Our help is contingent on your taking action for your future. Evaluation We want to provide you with all of the encouragement, help and support that you need to attain your goals. Sometimes we set initial plans that are not attainable and they must be revised. To make this process work well, we need to regularly evaluate whether this is the right plan for you and if we are on track with it. It is usually helpful to monitor the plan frequently at first and then less frequently when all is going well.
