Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years?
Summer is upon us and half of 2009 has slipped by us. If you are like me you may be wondering where has the year gone so quickly.  Time seems to move more quickly with each passing year.

As I was reflecting on this month's article, I started thinking about past interviews. Have you ever been asked, "Where do you see yourself in five year?"

I have a difficult time thinking about next year let alone five years!  What I have learned from those who are looking to achieve the most life has to offer is that they have a vision, a plan and they can tell you exactly what they are doing to get to where they want to be in five years.

I admire these individuals and they deserve the rewards for their hard work and sacrifice.  Now is a good time to stop and ask yourself this question. "Where do I see myself five years from now?"

It is never to late to discuss your hopes and aspirations with your family or significant other.  You wouldn't build a house without a plan! But yet, we often live our lives being bounced about by circumstances that we have little control over.  When circumstances seem to go against us, we often feel like victims.  This is even more the case when we don't have a plan in place.   When circumstances change, we need to bring out our plan and make adjustments.

If you want to be more in control of your life, build a plan, work out the steps that it will take to get there, and start taking the steps.  Each step, no matter how small, is important.  Remember, we often have to take small steps to build ourselves up to taking the bigger ones. 

If you would like to discuss this topic, I would love to hear from you. You may call me or send me an email message.  Whatever the topic may be, I always look forward to hearing from you.

Have a great Summer,

Neil
