How to Create a Life Plan

{ 0 comments }

I find it interesting that many people plan little bits and pieces of their life – things like vacations, birthdays, nights out with friends, time to watch their favorite TV shows – but so few have a life plan that covers the big parts.

Not many are planning how they would like their life to flow. And yet they seem surprised that their life is less fulfilling than they would like or that they are less happy than they thought they would be.

Create a Life Plan

In this 4 minute video I explain how I create a life plan and why it is important.

If you watched my last video you know that creating a life plan is the first of three key steps for turning your life around and creating a life customized for you.

You have to have this clear, detailed vision for your life if you want to be able to direct where your life goes. In fact, this design step is critical when it comes to building your Custom Built Life™.

The first assignment that I give every one of my clients is our Life Balance Blueprint™ process. At the end of the assignment the client has a detailed life plan that they can refer to and update as needed.

Whose Plan are you Following?

So if your life doesn’t look and feel the way you want it to, I ask you whose plan have you been following?

Have you been following a plan set for you by your parents or teachers? (“You are so smart! You should be a doctor!”)

Have you been following a path set forth by your employer? (“To move up into that job you have to spend time in each of these departments first.”)

Have you been following the plan “they” say is right? (“Everyone knows kids do best when their mother stays home with them.” “Everyone knows kids do best when the mother works and has a life of her own.”)

Or have you been living with no plan at all and floating around like flotsam and jetsam on the currents of life. (“I just go where life takes me.”)

How is that Working for You?

I am going to guess that no matter whose plan you have been following it hasn’t taken you where you want to go or you wouldn’t be here reading about how to create your Custom Built Life.

And that’s okay.

Because today is a new day and you can do things differently starting right now.

Your Assignment

Watch the video above and follow the steps given in it to create your life plan.

If you have any questions post them in the comments below. I am happy to answer your questions and support you in this process.

Once your life plan is written, come back and watch parts 3 and 4 of this video series to see what to do next.

Before you know it, you will be well on your way to creating your Custom Built Life!
