It has been said that nobody plans to fail, they simply fail to plan.  And what’s a plan?  It is a blueprint that outlines the steps involved in making something, or getting somewhere.  What comes at the end of the plan is called a “goal”.  The desired result.  Put enough of these plans and goals together and you end up with a life.  But think about this: if your plans are crappy or non-existent, the resulting life will be crappy and non-existent (metaphorically speaking).  Also, if the plans and goals are not your own, the resulting life won’t be your own either.

Weighing Up The Pros & Cons

Warning: This article will be very “hands on” for you, gentle reader.

You’ve heard it said that you must balance your home life and your work life to be successful.  But why do so many not get it right?  As far as juggling/balancing acts go, having only two things up in the air doesn’t seem all that tough.  So many struggle with it and get it wrong because the advice is wrong!  Or at the very least, incomplete and misleading.
