Perfect way to figure out what you want

I was feeling stuck. Working through this book has recharged me and given me the direction I was lacking. I plan to re-do these exercises every year and love that I can look back at my answers to see how they've evolved.

The nudge I needed

I used strategic planning for life two years ago and within less than a year had repositioned the most important things in my life to give more growth, happiness and peace. Even if you're happy with where you are in life, this can take you to a level you didn't imagine possible. It's the best money you'll have spent in a long time! I just bought 3 to give to a few family members so they too can experience this magic.

Amazing life tool!

My husband and I both completed our own copies of this book and were blown away with the methods and results. We're always trying to work on improving ourselves and our partnership, but this helped both areas in leaps and bounds. I think we fundamentally understand one another better now and where we want to go. Not to mention, we had a blast in the process!
