"Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning." - Thomas Edison
My goal this week for wealth accumulation is to increase my annual income, by acquiring the habit to plan my financial priorities more efficiently, by focusing on actions that bring the most immediate income to my bottom line.
Stephen Covey wrote a good book on the topic entitled, "7 Habits of Highly Effective People", which focuses largely on priority planning in specific areas to increase work / living productivity, and likewise, results.
I've used the FranklinCovey planners before and prefer them to any other planner on the market, as they, in my opinion, are the best in regards to priority living...
I just went to their website and found that FranklinCovey has now created a completely customizable software planning system, Plan Plus Online, that can be accessed from any computer in the world. You can even use it on your Blackberry, or IPhone... I haven't seen anything this efficient in the planning industry before, and I have done a lot of searching! I plan to use it throughout the next year for my business and personal life... I will update this blog with my reviews on it's features.
If you want to check it out, it's reasonably cheap. They price their Plan Plus Basic just under $15/mo. or the Plan Plus Business at $60/mo.
The Basic Idea of the Priority Planning System...
- Target goals and objectives
- Plan activities that will help you reach your goals
- Use the Priority Planning System to schedule activities
- Make good habits to perform consistently
- Categorize activities into the Priority Matrix: Important, Not Important, Urgent, Not Urgent
- Consistently return and report to yourself and your system
Okay... so the goal for this week... Form the habit of using the Plan Plus Business software to increase my productivity, and consistently monitor my schedule to ensure I am engaging in the activities that will bring the most immediate income to my bottom line...
