lease bring out the CEO in you and take charge of life. We are all winners, as we beat hundreds and hundreds to come into the existence of a human body. Claim our birth right, our throne, as we step forth on this beautiful place called earth, whatever we wanted, we just had to cry, with our diapers or without our diapers, and we will be attended to. Let’s live life the way we should live it. Life is great, Life is beautiful. Now let me draw to the point, there are eight steps in strategically managing our life.
Step 1 – Identify or write down our goals, our dreams, our purpose in life, what we plan to achieve, how much, by when, doing what. Write it down. Don’t just think about it, ink about it. Like a pilot knows exactly his destination, we should also have clear, visual goals that we would want to achieve. Now, don’t get too carried away, write down smaller goals in life. Do baby steps, as every drop of water makes an ocean and a small leak can sink a great ship, let’s build this new and beautiful habit of writing it, reviewing it and changing it if necessary?
Step 2 – Analysing the external environment, we have to know what are we up against or what would be in our favour. Like for example, there might be more focus on the tourism or service sector, or falling interest rates would make it unattractive to keep money in the banks.
Step 3 – We would get an idea of the possible opportunities and threats out there for or against us. From the raw data of step 2, we could list down all the possible pros and cons. That would mean more possible job openings in the service sector, which we should equip ourselves, like for example the certified service professional course, and falling interest rates would make us think of whether to keep the money in the bank or money under our pillow or purchasing investments.
Step 4 – Analysing our resources or our internal environment. We have to list down our finances, what we own, such as assets, car, house, what we owe, such as credit cards, what we earn, our income and what we spend, our expenses, we should also list down the people that mean to us, our family, our friends, our academic qualification, our skill sets.
