THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING
17th century church inscription
A vision without a task is just a dreamA task without a vision is drudgery
A vision with a task is the hope of the world.
PERSPECTIVES ON PLANNING Vision is important: How will goals and
actions help you reach your vision?
Goals should be SMART
Making time to assess progress and reassess direction on a regular basis is important.
