Your Life Plan Blueprint - Goal Review #2

Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 243 of our Trek, and we are continuing on our current Trek Your Life Plan Blueprint. Yesterday we started on the 6th phase of the WESPER framework which is review. While it is the last phase of the WESPER process, review is a continual process throughout Your Life Plan Blueprint. As with all steps of WESPER, the review process is extremely important. We will invest today focusing on the final aspects of the review process within the WESPER framework. Since our life planning series does cover many days, if you miss any of our Wisdom-Trek episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal.

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].

We are recording our podcast from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. After spending Thursday on-site with one of our Marietta clients, we are finishing up today with a full agenda. Paula continues to refine and tweak the course workbook for Your Life Plan Blueprint, and hopefully, our initial version will be available soon.

Saturday’s plans are to focus most of the day on the woodwork in the library, so if nothing interrupts the schedule, we should be able to make some good progress. We will then head back to Charlotte on Sunday.

We are continuing on our trek today as we hike the trail for day twenty-three of our Wisdom-Trek Life Plan process which we refer to as…

2. Review Process

Our trek today we will complete the review process that we started yesterday.

· Key Points to Consider When Reviewing Goals

As you review the results of your actions throughout the process, ask yourself the following questions:

How are you progressing against your targets? Are you exceeding your expectations? Are you barely meeting your expectations? Are you falling behind?

What is helping you in your goal? Why is it working? How can you focus on this to further increase your results? Are there any opportunities to improve on what has been working?

What is not helping you reach your goal? Why is it not working? Can you do anything about it to turn it around? Should you abandon the task instead? What can you do differently in the future? How can you incorporate the lessons into your plan to maximize your chances of success?

When you meet/exceed your targets, give yourself a reward to congratulate yourself. Consider whether you want to increase your targets at this point. After all, there is nothing better than to keep the momentum going while it’s high!

If you are not meeting your daily and weekly activity tasks and goals, it is likely that something was not set properly in your strategy and/or plan. Reassess and revise them accordingly, then proceed to execute your revised plan.

3. Continuous Evaluation

Considering that Your Life Plan Blueprint is a long-term plan, continuous evaluation is built into the plan. That being said, you do have opportunities and checkpoints to monitor your achievements with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly tasks, goals, and objectives.

· Goal Achieved

As you achieve your short-term checkpoints, congratulations! Occasionally take some special time to celebrate your accomplishments.
