I was writing earlier, in an email, about the idea of having a personal vision and was wondering how many people did. How many people do you think, before they start a business, write out a game plan (business plan.) Yet, these same people probably never have thought how important it is to have a game plan for themselves.
Remember when you were in college, and you could not wait until it was your time to go out into the world and 'make it!'
Well, now here you are in the world, and this is as good as it gets.
Was this your plan or did it just happen to you. Is this where you envisioned yourself to be 10, 20,or even 30 years ago.
I was with a man today (Saturday) who started as a cop and now runs a large gated community. His story was interesting but a little depressing, since his life took some unforeseen turns.
I don't know that any of us end up where we thought we would or should.
And that's because we could not see that far into the future. We created our world...the good and the bad parts.
But...wouldn't it be great if what we planned came to be?
Or would your life be kind of boring and predictable?
Good Selling,
Steve

Dear Steve:
I agree 100%!
I know far too many people (and I suspect your readers do too) that let life happen to them and then try to find a way to be happy with what they have.
I believe in creating a life plan through some introspection and then creating a business or career as an extension of that plan.
If people did they would be far more successful - and happier.
