Have your 2024 plans changed already?
Greetings!
As your year has gotten started, have your 2024 plans already started changing?
If you're like me, then you've already seen things begin to change, and expectations have had to be adjusted.
Let me ask you another question. Who are your advisers?
I've had many planning sessions throughout my life, especially at this time of year. I've always loved planning!
But I did it mostly by myself. I didn't ask for others' thoughts. And I failed to consider (or even see) all the factors that would affect the outcome of my plans.
Planning means including other people (family, partners, friends, employees). Solo planning is good, but including advisers is better. Other minds can help us prepare for the change inevitably coming our way.
Blessings,
