Erin on Designing Your Personal Strategy (Personal Strategy: Step 2)

Episode 35

On this Episode of Fulfillment Equation

Now that we have created a clear picture of our future fulfillment, we can start the journey of connecting that wild, beautiful, long-term vision to our present life. But how do we do that? What if the distance between where I am and that future state feels less like a direct, well-marked path and more like trying to leap over a giant chasm on a motorcycle, blindfolded!

The goal of this next step is to create a personal strategy – a model – that will give us clarity and focus. It will be like taking off the blindfold so that we can see clearly, and constructing a bridge over the gap so that we can safely and efficiently navigate to the other side. Waiting there with anticipation, ready to greet you, will be your desired future self.

In this episode, I’ll explain three different approaches that you can take to identify the pillars and priorities that make up your personal strategy. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure for your own strategy design! Similar to other steps, I’ve included tons of examples, tips and tests to help you apply this in your own life.

Once developed, your personal strategy model will become your roadmap as you work towards building fulfillment in your future.
