This week we've been talking about awareness. Let's finish up with a question that embodies awareness: What's Your Plan for You?
What is your plan for you? Have you really thought about what you want to do with your life or maybe you are looking to make a change? Your plan might be to have a process to figure out what you do want to do - which means exposing yourself to different options and being aware of what you enjoy or don't enjoy. Another way to figure out your plan, might be to work backwards. Envision what your would like to be doing, where you would like to be be living, what job you want, what family lifestyle you would like, what you want to do in retirement - then gain understanding of what you can do now to make those things happen.
A few years ago I was working with leadership of a non-profit organization. They had reached out to me to help review some of their plans to partner with other organizations to advance their cause. We talked about their vision and the value and resources they planned to bring to that partnership. Then we were able to align the asks with the value. Having a plan and knowing the direction you want to go, can really help to identify and clarify the steps needed for progress. If you have a goal of not working in retirement or you want to practice philanthropy in retirement, you may have a retirement savings goal, and you will take actions to reach that goal. Some people may be content to live frugally in retirement and others may prefer to vacation, so their similar goals for retirement savings may have very different details.
Take some time to think about and pull together your plan. Your plan will will be unique to you - it's your plan. You can revise your plan. However, having a plan will create an anchor of awareness that you can look to to ensure your decisions are aligned with your goals. I encourage you to take some time to know your plan and if you have one already, review your plan to see if it needs revision or further detail.
