Your Job Skills are Elastic

• Think of yourself like a rubber band - each new skill helps to stretch out the band
• Elastic Skills have two components: information and communication
• Don’t pigeon hole your dreams.

Vision Casting

1. Brainstorm your vision by answering questions like “What life would I like to create for my family? What kind of marriage and family relationships do I want? What do I want to create financially? What would I like to create in order to influence the finances of other people in a positive way? How do I wish to be remembered? What will my legacy be?” 
2. Consider if it’s possible. Can you make your vision happen with your current job, skills, or activities? Or do you need alternative skills, mindsets, or coaching to help you reach your vision?
3. Commit to a direction. Once you know what you want and if it’s possible, determine the course of action you need to take in order to get to your goal.

Creating Your Future

Once you recognize what you want and have a plan for how to get there, then it’s time to take action. Now it’s time to create the future you’ve been dreaming about. Start by checking off the items on your action list one at a time. Each time you check something off, you’re making progress and building momentum. 

• Never underestimate the power of momentum
• Know which skills you already have, which you want to expand, and which you want to add.
• Consider the ROI of your investment. How much are you going to get out of what you’re putting in?
