Steps to Complete: In Week 4, complete and submit your assignment in BlackBoard using the following steps:

STEP 1: Identify a common measurable goal. This can be a goal you are already working on at work, at school, or at home. You should be able to accomplish this goal within two weeks (or a sub-goal if you are working on a longer-term goal) during Weeks 4 and 5 of this course.

· Putting together a crowdfunding idea.

· A project at work you have to complete.

· Volunteer efforts such as a book drive, food drive, etc.

STEP 2: Identify the other 2–4 members of your group and how you will work together. You may work with family members, friends, classmates, co-workers, or anyone else you will be able to collaborate with during this time period. Collaboration can be accomplished in-person, on the phone, through a virtual meeting space like Zoom, or through other collaborative tools like Google Docs. Make a plan for how your team will collaborate and what each person’s role and responsibilities will be.
