Create
a Personal Strategic Plan!
by Gary Ryan Blair
Success is not an accident. It begins with a well-conceived
plan. You can and will achieve more in the next year than
you have in the past ten with a disciplined Personal Strategic
Plan.
Personal strategic planning is a disciplined thought process,
which produces fundamental decisions and actions that shape
and guide who you are, where you are going, what you do, and
how, when and why you do it. All of this is done with a focus
on the future.
The purpose of personal strategic planning is to help you:
- Provide direction, meaning, and purpose for your life.
- Make decisions that positively affect your future.
- Focus your energies on what's most important.
- Achieve the greatest results in the shortest period of time.
- Significantly increase your level of performance.
- Enjoy more time, money, balance and freedom.
- Eliminate uncertainty, anxiety, doubt and fear.
- Leverage your skills more effectively.
- Enhance your quality of life, and overall peace of mind
- Be more, do more and ultimately to have more from life.
Personal strategic planning is based on the premise that life
will not go according to plan, if you do not have a plan.
A successful plan must include the following:
Personal Philosophy: Every person has a personal philosophy,
consisting of some rules adopted from one's parents, culture,
religion, acquaintance and so on.
Generally speaking, these rules, as a body are not well thought
out and contain a wealth of inconsistencies and contradictions.
Legacy Statement: Your legacy serves as your life's
defining statement. It serves a two-fold purpose. First it
provides an overarching framework for all mission statements
and goals to follow.
Second it answers the question, "What do I want to be remembered
for?"
Mission Statement: A mission statement is a declaration
of who you are, why you exist, and what you intend to accomplish.
In business, the organizational mission answers the big question:
"What is our business?" In personal planning, the question
is "What is my life's business?" In both cases, the answer
must define the reason for being.
Core Values: Our values act as our compass, guiding
us through life's terrain.
One certain way of knowing that you are living in accordance
with your values is by defining guidelines and measurements
for value centered living.
Code of Ethics: Words quietly influence our attitudes
and opinions.
Codes of conduct, personal creeds, and pledges all reflect
an effort to make sense of things, to organize behavior, and
to better understand ourselves.
Lifetime Objectives: Your objectives should be written
within the framework of your Legacy & Mission Statements.
The key to any Person
al Strategic Plan is to visualize your desired outcomes
in advance. Be sure to write and rewrite your Lifetime Objectives
as affirmations of the future you are working to realize.
Goals: The key in writing your goals is to make them
measurable, specific, and time-bound.
Goals need to be written for each of the ten critical areas
of life to include: Personal, Health, Recreation, Family,
Friends, Community, Career, Financial, Household and Spiritual.
Personal Board of Directors: A personal board will
accelerate your progress by providing both wisdom and support
for the attainment of a specific purpose.
Maintenance & Performance Check-Ups: On a monthly basis,
you should pause to evaluate your performance. What progress
have you made? Where have your been challenged? What do you
need to do differently or more of?
It is also important to step back and consider whether any
of your goals are unachievable.
Personal Reason Why: You won't become successful until
and unless you identify, support and empower your reasons
why. Your why's provide fuel for achievement, and are the
reasons behind all action and inaction.
The hallmark of all high achievers is a burning why. They
know what they want, how and when they will achieve it, but
most importantly they know WHY they want to become successful
at achieving their goals.
In Summary
You can significantly increase the odds of success, if you
know who you are, what you want, where you are going, how
you will get there, and what you will do once you arrive.
The best way to predict your future is to create it. Therefore,
a well-defined personal strategic plan, properly executed,
is your meal ticket to success.

Weight
Loss with Negative Calorie Foods
All foods have some calories. No food is actually
"negative calorie" food.
But the overall effect of certain foods in our body
is that of "negative calories".
Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories
to digest
than the calories the foods actually contain!
Calories from these foods are much harder for the
body to breakdown and process.
In
other words, the body has to work harder in order
to extract
calories from these foods.
This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning
advantage,
and are also known as fat burning foods

TIP:
"Where
you can get dirt CHEAP
autoresponders"
Everyone knows that when you use
sequential autoresponders
correctly, they can increase
your sales by 30% - 45% overnight.
The trick is finding them for
CHEAP!
Many services charge you over $30 per
month --
per series of responders! Since most businesses need a
minimum of FOUR responder series to get started, that's
more than
$1,440.00 a year!
That's
crazy! Who can afford that? Not ME!
That's why I was excited to find powerful
business
automation software that includes unlimited series
of autoresponders for
dirt cheap!
If you are looking for a "low-risk"
way to try adding autoresponders to your
business,
I'd highly recommend that you click here to check
this out.
This is the best deal on autoresponders I
have
found!
