How To Plan For Success
They say if you fail to plan then you plan to fail. Well, I’ve created a tool called the Personal Planning Chart to help you track your success and facilitate a process I call the Circle of Purpose. The thing about New Years resolutions is that (if we even follow up on them) we don’t follow up until we randomly find the document somewhere or December 31st of the next year when we’re trying to write our new ones. The year isn’t the only cycle in our life. The Circle of Purpose and Personal Planning Chart make it easy for you to break-down and measure your daily, weekly, and quarterly progress in a way that will make your year great. We spend our careers being accountable to someone else’s goals so it’s about time that we spend our lives being accountable to our own.
What’s hot about the Personal Planning Chart is that:
1. It fits on 1-page
2. It’s pretty much just a check list
3. It has an easy way to measure your daily, weekly, and quarterly goals
Download a blank Personal Planning Chart here and then click through this short PowerPoint to see how to fill it out.
Warning: Don’t put too many goals. Keep it simple.
Purpose:
My purpose is to help as many people as possible reach their full potential by helping them making a living doing what they love and in the process of doing so achieve my own. My time is my most valuable asset and I will use it wisely by focusing my energy toward the fulfillment of my purpose. Ultimately, I want to eliminate the need for Alcoholics Anonymous for my generation by creating experiences where people can find community, find meaning, and find a spiritual connection.
