Publisher's Synopsis
The purpose of this book is to help people develop a long-term, biblically based strategic plan for their lives. My hope is to stir a vision or dream and then to provide a means by which that dream may be achieved. The theme is to prayerfully seek the Lord's will for our lives. The vision for the book came after many years of work with corporations, businesses, organizations, and churches in which my primary focus was on helping them develop strategic plans and consequent methods to organize and manage. During forty years of consulting experience with these organizations-from top Fortune 500 companies to small businesses to church ministry, nonprofits, athletics, and higher education. I also had the opportunity to help meet the needs of people seeking direction in their own lives. These principles will work at any stage of life. Grandma Moses painted her first picture at age 75, and Ray Crock was 54 when he opened his first McDonald's. You must analyze your strengths and utilize them. Your talents should not be wasted or misused. The planning process outlined and worksheets provided will help you make the most of your strengths and minimize or improve your weaknesses. By ranking goals, you can determine what is important to you on the job. This book is designed to force you to think about things you must do to get started: analyzing things that are holding you back, then working on a plan to overcome these obstacles. Another important section helps you identify people who can help with your personal growth. None of us can achieve our maximum potential unassisted. Dr. R. Henry Migliore President, Managing for Success Professor Emeritus NSU/UCT
