Once your year-long plan is complete, we encourage you to print it and post it!

Save your plan electronically to a location on your computer, tablet, or phone for ready access. Print out a copy and post it prominently in your daily environment. Thus, you allow your plan to remind, inspire, taunt, and tease you to higher performance levels.

Note: Carefully consider the level of privacy your plan requires and adjust your postings to maintain confidentiality where needed.

Have you developed a comprehensive end-of-life plan?

By investing the time in putting together this plan, you’ll:

- Create peace of mind for you and your family, knowing that you have planned for their future and prepared them, to the best of your ability, for a time when you will no longer be with them.
- Improve the ability of your surviving spouse, partner, or executor to carry out your wishes with minimal effort and frustration.
- Preserve wealth based on legal and financial preparation and reduce the potential for lost benefits and support mechanisms.
- Allow for prompt action. While it may be uncomfortable to think about and plan for one’s passing, doing so can help ease the pain and stress your loved ones will experience when the time comes.

One of our best practices to consider when creating your yearly plan is to incorporate a “countdown" clock.

Performance anxiety can be your friend. Any device that communicates the passage of time toward a targeted future completion date or time can create helpful anxiety. Whether it's a calendar, a timer, or a “countdown” clock, consider using it to help pace you toward victory.

Create a plan for success in the new year. Identify goals, objectives, and behavioral enhancements that build upon past successes and address areas of concern.

The process of building a formal plan for the year can yield eight important benefits:

1. An opportunity to prioritize crucial actions, goals, and objectives
2. A level of assurance that nothing significant has been overlooked or sacrificed
3. A vision of success
4. A defined scope of work
5. A schedule of important events
6. The impetus to act
7. The basis on which to check and adjust
8. And of course, a plan

Napoleon Hill, a famous self-help author, is attributed with saying, “You can’t beat a man with a plan,” so why not become unbeatable?

Your mindset is your personal beliefs about the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation. What you believe about yourself, others, and the world impacts your potential for success or failure.

When planning for a great year, be sure to keep your mindset goals in mind.
