The Ten Year Plan, 1 year later

On August 10th, 2008 I wrote the following challenge.

It is now 53 weeks later, and my question to you is, have you started your plan yet?

My life definitely has taken a different direction and I am much more in control than last year at this time. If you read this last year, read it again.

If this is the first time, then act now:

Ten years from now, what will be different in your life?

Ten years from now, how will your business be different?


Ten years from now, will your life and your business be the result of a plan or simply circumstance?

One of my activities is serving on a marketing advisory board for a financial firm and when I began 18 months ago, I asked the owner these same questions.

As a result of knowing where she wants to be in ten years, she can formulate a plan for today that will move her firm in the direction it needs to go.

Yes, I know there are many things that we cannot predict that will occur in the next ten years, but if you honestly take a look at your life and your business, you'll be surprised at what is predictable.

Set some goals, complete with a timeline. Then start down the path to get there. You'll be in the top 10% by simply doing these steps.
