Congrats to the authors for adding this very important step. I have been a big advocate of creating a strategic life plan as the first step in finding success and happiness in your life. When I created QuickPlanner Plus it was with the intention of creating a strategic planning software that enables users to create any kind of plan including a strategic life plan, one that includes personal objectives, personal mission, and personal vision of one's future. Only when this is done can you then start developing your strategic business plan (of course you can use QuickPlanner Plus as well!)
By aligning your strategic life plan with your strategic business plan you will create a business that follows your personal passions and acheives success and fulfillment and is not just another job. Good planning!
