LIFE PLANNING
WHAT IS LIFE PLANNING:
People develop short-term, long-term, tactical and strategic plans as part of their professional life but rarely spend even one day planning for the most important event they will ever participate in--their own life. Life Planning is a process that helps people improve the quality of their life and achieve their goals. By following specific steps and utilizing a support system along the way, each Life Planner will develop their own vision, life goals and successful implementation plan. In 1987, while attending a "stress management" workshop, I realized something that changed my life. I realized that, if I would put the same amount of effort into developing a strategic plan for myself as I had done for my employer, I could change my life forever. As a result of this experience, I came up with my own vision and mission statement, a three-year plan for myself to achieve it and specific measurable goals that I could use to track my progress. I returned from the workshop and shared my plan with my wife. To implement it would require a shared vision and an agreement as to the risk. My wife asked me the key question that, when I answered it truthfully, led us to move ahead. She said, "If you were to retire tomorrow, would you be sorry that you hadn’t tried it?" I thought about it and then said, "Yes." My wife and I resigned from our jobs, sold our house and moved to where we wanted to live to be able to live out our Life Plan. We’ve never been sorry. After experiencing first-hand how my Life Plan improved the quality of my life, I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals and improve their lives, personally and professionally. I’ve developed a uniquely tailored approach to Life Planing and I would like to share it with you. WHO SHOULD CONSIDER CREATING A LIFE PLAN? People who:
