I didn’t create a life plan in 2021 and it was a huge mistake.

Sure, I did well this year. I increased my writing income, started investing, and published three books. All good things. In fact, great things. For most people, this is their best year yet.

But I’ve really struggled in other important areas of my life. I gained weight this year, friendships have suffered, and I failed to do important things for my family.

Normally, we call this type of give-and-take reality a trade-off for success. The thing is, none of us ever need to sacrifice our families or our health for vocational or financial success.

Yet, when we don’t have a plan these are the first things we let happen.

Why You Need to Have a Life Plan

Have you ever stopped at the end of the year and said to yourself, “how did I get here.” Or, maybe you have said, “this year didn’t turn out the way I thought it would.” These are phrases of someone who is letting life happen to them.
