Most often, when we begin charting out our resolution for a new year, we always ask "What I want to achieve this year?"
For my situation, I do that as well. But, it seems we are missing something here. What's that? Before that, let me share something with you. I often listen & read about gurus told us to have big dreams, see the big picture, blah...... don't you?
What I realised is this, no matter how big you would like to paint your big picture, you still must understand one important question - "Where are you now?" Without knowing where you are, you wouldn't know how you want to go where you want to be, isn't it?
Just like when your friend would ask you for direction to somewhere else, would you tell him/ her "go this way, then turn left. At the junction, turn right....." or you would ask him/ her "where are you now?".
Most of the time when I ask my friends, they would offer plenty full of ideas & ways for me to choose. It almost always goes like this, "You know what, you should do this, that. Then, this & that......." I understand where they are coming from, they want to be as helpful as possible. For that, I thank you them.
From the learning of Money Mastery Mentorship Programme, I understand that no matter where you want to be, you have to understand where you are. Without knowing where you are, you won't be able to chart out a good plan for your future endeavors. You would either fail to carry out your plan or got confuse along the way.
Charting out a good plan also means that you have to know what are the resources that are available to you. That includes your time allocation, your money spend, etc. Any plan to be carried out, you need time & money commitment as well as your family understanding. Without all these, what's the point of having good plan but fail to take action? Worse still, giving excuses like "I don't have time!", "I'm having a tight budget this month!", "I've a family to feed, you know?", "My the other half just couldn't understand me!". Got the point?
I would like to share the following three questions that I use to chart out my plan, hope is helpful to you.
Q#1: Where am I now? (Financially, Time commitment, other aspect of life)
Q#2: Where I want to be? (Resources I have to enable to carry out the plan)
Q#3: What are the option(s) I have? (From here you'll understand what is lacking or is favorable to you & you'll be able to find ways to accomplish what you want)

Thank for your sharing.
Why many people understand the three questions but still fail????
1.Still not fully understand the three questions and still can't find the direction.Suggest getogether to brain strom with good friends,P&S,MMgroups and fimalies menbers.Be open-mind,Changes, Positive.....and etc.To find your true self.Ask yourself what you want?Where am I now?Loud and clear,what really you want?Ask many many times.....????get out of the box,get out the comfort zone etc....
2.After find the direction,what next?Where I want to be ?Formulate a plan ....but people still fail to do why???? No urgency,not pain eought,no commitment or the plan is not clear got confuse(go back to question 1 ?????)
3.Let said very thing is fine .you have find out what you want in life, where you want to be and have a good plan but still people fail why????Bcos no pushing force, no environment,no support.....etc suggest joint P&Sgroup,MMgroups,find a good plateform, good priciples,positive gps,good support....etcmake sure you find a way die die have to do it.Everday need to remind yourself three things as follows:(Dream it,Belive it,Do it)
Conclusion:No pain no gain.Success there is a price to pay.No free lunch in this world.Choices is more importance then hardworking.Choose the right direction, right vehical ,right plateform n principle are premier importance.
A chinese saiding One can read a lot of books(read millions of books),travelling a round the world(walk millions of miles),meeting a lots of people(met millions of people),Howerver, best is to met a life mentor to point out the directions(met a master to point out the road directions)
Thank for time. Wish all success in 2007 year of pig.
Thanks for your comment, Mike. Well, really true of what you mentioned. There is always a price to pay for what you want in life. However, sad to say that people will always wait for the best price, which might never happen!
