Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 237 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Your Life Plan Blueprint - Strategy Guidelines 6-10

Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 237 of our Trek, and we are continuing on our current Trek Your Life Plan Blueprint. Two days ago we started our exploration of the third phase of the WESPER framework which is strategy. Yesterday we examined the first 5 guidelines for implementing an effective strategy, and today we will discover the remaining 5 guidelines. As you are creating your life plan that fulfills your life purpose, you must establish goals as part of your plan. Setting a goal does nothing by itself. Strategy is the core of your blueprint which enables you to do planning which leads to execution and review.

I am incorporating all of these daily concepts along with worksheets into an easy to use workbook, and I will let you know when it is complete so that you can download it. If you have any questions or would like additional information as we go through our daily trek, leave a comment on Wisdom-Trek.com or email me at [email protected].  If you miss any of our Wisdom-Trek episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal.

We are recording our podcast from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. It started snowing about 2 pm Friday afternoon, and by the time it is finished on Saturday we should have between 6-9 inches. This was not the blizzard predicted for the eastern seaboard, but it is a very nice amount.

We met with our renovation contractors this week, and after how nice the two front rooms and downstairs hallway/foyer looked, we have decided to move forward with renovations on the upstairs hallway. My plans are to remove the ceiling tiles and wallpaper on Saturday so they can continue this next week. Here is a before picture.

Due to time and budget limitations, this will probably be the last area we renovate for a few months. Of course, I still have a lot of work to do refinishing the massive amount of woodwork and hardwood floors, which will take me well into springtime.

Let’s head on the trail for day eighteen of our Wisdom-Trek Life Plan process which we refer to as…

Two days ago we explored three points about strategy which were:

What is strategy?

Strategy is underutilized.

Develop your strategy.

Yesterday we examined the first 5 guidelines for creating an effective strategy which were:

1. Understand your goals thoroughly.

2. Pre-plan for obstacles so you can address them.

3. Identify the best route, but plan for alternatives.

4. Identify key activities or best actions for success.

5. Remain faithful and focused on your daily activity goals.

On our trail today, we will discover the remaining 5 guidelines for creating a successful strategy for any goal or objective that you set.

6. Do something different and something extra.

Even if you have tried some of your objectives and goals previously without success, using the Wisdom-Trek Your Life Plan Blueprint will allow you to approach the goals from a new perspective and mindset. This is required if you expect to be successful in creating your life plan. As the saying goes, “If nothing changes, then nothing changes.” Your Life Plan Blueprint is much more than a goal setting system. It is a life changing system. If you want to get different results, you need to do something different. By adopting the Wisdom-Trek system with the WESPER framework, you are taking action to do something different and something extra. You are proactive on setting a strategy and taking responsibility for your lif...
