With college graduation approaching it reminds me of a time in my life where I had no real clue as to what I was going to do after I graduated. Up until this point I had a goal of being the first person in my family to graduate college. I was stoked that I had just finished an internship at the Cooper Fitness Center and was now ready to graduate and head into the real world. The only problem I was not sure if I wanted to work with athletes or wanted to do personal training. As you know by now I went the personal training route; however, when I first started I had no plan. It was not until I read Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” that I started to plan. Also, I wrote a post<\/a> awhile back titled “The Fastest Way to a Six Figure Income<\/a>, which\u00a0summarizes\u00a0the study conducted by Harvard and showed the power of planning. I suggest you read it and see for\u00a0yourself\u00a0the remarkable results. Okay Dave, if planning is so important show me what I need to consider for my individual plan.<\/p>\n

A.) Yearly – You need a plan for the entire year and the following should be included:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. desired annual income<\/li>\n
  2. personal development<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0professional development<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    B.)Monthly<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. needed monthly income<\/li>\n
    2. planned events<\/li>\n
    3. unplanned events<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      C.) Weekly<\/div>\n
      \n
        \n
      1. needed weekly sessions<\/li>\n
      2. adapt and overcome<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
        D.) Daily<\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        1. DMO – Daily Method of Operation<\/li>\n
        2. Consistency<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
