Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

A BENCHMARK FOR 
DECISION MAKING
I conducted a strategic planning session for a large corporation not
long ago. The executives had more than 250 potential projects on
their drawing boards. After we had defined the values, vision, and
ideal mission of the company, they were immediately able to discard
more than 200 of those potential projects. It was clear to everyone
at the meeting that these projects were not consistent with who they
were as a company and where they wanted to be in the future. This
can work for you as well.
One of your problems today is that you are overwhelmed with
too much to do and too little time. You have too many things to
think about. You are swamped by too many problems, possibilities,
and opportunities. When you idealize and become crystal clear
about what your perfect life would look like sometime in the future,
you will immediately start to make better choices in your day-to-day
