Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy
Welcome to Day 353 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.
This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Your Life Plan Blueprint - WESPER Step-2: Establish - Principles 5 - 7
Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 353 of our trek, and last week we began a detailed series, which we originally introduced in January, called Your Life Plan Blueprint. We have synthesized the information into a 100 page PDF manual/workbook which contains all forms needed to create and maintain your personal life plan.



This is our initial release of the manual/workbook, and it is available for download at Wisdom-Trek.com on the left-hand sidebar of any page. Or, if you are listening on your smartphone, you can text the word LifePlan (with no spaces) to 44222 and Your Life Plan Blueprint will be delivered to you in an email. The manual/workbook is free during the month of May, so I would encourage you to become one of our early adopters so that all updates will be available to you for free also. By the end of 2016, we will have a complete web/mobile version available of Your Life Plan Blueprint.



Thank you so much for coming along with me as we trek through each page of Your Life Plan Blueprint. If you would like to listen to any of the past episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal. You can also subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on iTunes, Spreaker, Stitcher, Soundcloud, iHeart Radio, and Google Play, so each day’s trek will be downloaded to you automatically.

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. Our pair of hawks has been extremely active since we returned to Marietta. The two keep flying in and out of the nest with a constant stream of food and additional padding for the nest.

The nest is a bit more obstructed now with the abundant foliage, but we have started to spot the fluffy heads of the baby hawks as they are brought food. The blackbirds and blue jays certainly like to fly after and pester the hawks as they are delivering the food, but it does not deter them from their mission. It is quite interesting to watch. This is a good analogy for our own lives. Let us ignore the pesky distractions and focus on our purpose in life.
 
As a reminder, we are looking at changing the format of Wisdom-Trek on June 1st. Please email me at guthrie@venturecg.com, or leave a comment at the bottom of today’s journal to let me know if you would like me to continue Wisdom-Trek on a 7 day, 5 day, or 3 day per week schedule. Also, let me know if you would like any changes to the format of the daily trek. Thank you in advance for your feedback! It is now time to get started on the 15th day of Your Life Plan Blueprint Workbook.

If you missed any of the previous days in this series, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. On our trek today, we will continue our deep exploration of each of the phases of the WESPER Framework. We will continue with the 2nd step today as we examine principles 5-7 that make up the establish phase. We are taking several days to walk you through each step of creating your life plan. I would encourage you to trek with me through this process and complete the associated forms that are included included Your Life Plan Blueprint Workbook.
WESPER Step 2: Establish – Principles 5-7
If you are following along in the manual/workbook, today let’s start exploring on page 32, which covers the 5th principle of the establish phase of Your Life Plan Blueprint. You can also view this information in the journal for Day 353. The 5th principle is to Plan for B3 Goals. When planning for B3 goals, you must say to yourself, “Today I will do what others won’t so tomorrow I can do what others can't.”



 

Now, let’s explore two closely related principles #6 & 7, which are to Be Specific with Your Goals and Make Goals Measurable.
