Who do you want to be? What will you do each day to move closer to that picture?
An important part of your development is anticipating future roles/passions, identifying the skills required, and designing a growth plan to achieve your goals

Financial planning is a widely accepted value in our society – “I will make a plan for growing my assets.”
Why not tell all of the accounts of our life what to do?
Over a year ago I started receiving coaching. One of the first things my coach did with me was to start me down a path of creating a “Life Plan.” Previously I had no knowledge of this concept. The wisdom in going through this process is that I now have a written map for the daily, weekly and long-term decisions I am making for my life. (In no way is it a replacement of being guided by my faith, but rather it is map for how I hear God speaking to me.)
I used Daniel Harkavy (Building Champions) and Michael Hyatt’s book “Living Forward.” It was an extremely helpful guide.
To launch, I cleared an entire day. I started with writing out my eulogy. Starting with the end in mind gave clarity to who I want to be. Next, I created 8 accounts of my life in which I wanted to focus.
Since beginning Life Planning one year ago, I have done the following to keep it actionable:
- Read my Life Plan every day for first 90 days.
- Added my Life Plan goals to my “Getting Things Done” priority management tool, and completed a weekly Life Plan review.
- Reviewed and updated my Life Plan 3 times.
- Completed a full-day review one-year later.
