KISStrategic Planning

"Most people don´t have visions, they have dreams. The one-page planning document guides you to answer 7 simple questions around your dream — Who, What, When, Where, How, Why and the always difficult "but Should we or Shouldn´t we?" You´ll see these anchor questions at the top of each column of the one-page planning document and bolded below to provide you a verbal and visual clue to match the "how to" sections with the appropriate columns on the form.

TWO OVERARCHING IDEAS — Alignment and Simplicity. The
one-page planning document is designed to encourage simplicity (there´s not a lot of space to write, so you must be concise and focused) and alignment (think of the document as a crossword puzzle, where figuratively '4 down' needs to align with '7 across.')."

I've beenseeing Drew Miles all over. I was awfully skeptical because my husband Fred has ... let's just say made a few bad choices. He's a dreamer, which is a blessing and a curse. I've actually come around about drew Miles though. He seems to be a good guy. I still haven't completely made up my mind though. But I did give in to Fred to go to the Zero 2 Success conference in Tampa next month because Fred said we both got to go on a 2 for 1 deal. Maybe we'll win one of the free trips. Millie ...
