Why do you need a plan?

The rationale behind The Personal Business Plan is simple:  We have plans for work and business, but most of us don’t have a plan for life.  At The Personal Business Plan, we want to change this for you.  Over the years, thousands of people have benefited from using the tools, exercises, and guides behind The Personal Business Plan.  We know we can help you too.

Think of the Toolkit as your own personal coach, who helps you find your way to a better life. The Personal Business Plan Toolkit is an online personal development and self-improvement system, which guides you through developing your own interactive life plan.  It even helps you implement your plan it and gives you the tools to stick to it.

You need to invest time and effort in your Personal Business Plan, but we promise that the process is both fun and insightful.  The more you put into it, the more you get out of it.  In developing Your Plan, you will be guided by questions and exercises, which help determine what makes you happy, in what parts of your life you are struggling, and what changes are necessary for you to live the good life.

Your output is an ebook, 50-100 pages long or more, containing

  • Your life and career overview and
  • A plan for your future, ready for execution.

 

In The Personal Business Plan, you work as ambitiously and professionally with your personal life as you do with your work life.

Many top executives have worked their way through the system since 1996 and have emerged at the other end with a personal life plan as a result. An actionable life plan which provides peace of mind, self-respect, and control.

The Personal Business Plan is more than a system and much more than a plan; it is a philosophy, which changes your life. The philosophy and thinking behind it create a desire for the future and an appetite for life.

Philosophy

One simple philosophy links all The Personal Business Plan concepts:

Always do your best!

Our PBP philosophy consists of four principles:

  • LIFE AMBITION
    – Know what truly drives you
  • PERSONAL REINVENTION
    – Try new things throughout life
  • LEARNING AGILITY
    – Navigate in changing times
  • COURAGE TO COMMIT
    – Make decisions and stick to them

The Four-Leaf Clover Legend

The Four-Leaf Clover is the Personal Business Plan signature – it is our guiding principle.  The model represents two infinity loops and multiple directions.  It’s a symbol of your life.  You choose your own path, your own goals, and your own means.  Sometimes you cross your own trail, sometimes you pivot, sometimes you persevere, and sometimes life simply happens.  Once you know where you are in life, and where you are going, you will never again feel insecure.  Your work-life and your personal life will be in sync.

THE PBP SYSTEM

Structure

The Personal Business Plan System is highly structured.  4 phases, 10 sessions, 40 exercises, 1 plan.

The Personal Business Plan works by leading you through four phases:

  • UNDERSTAND YOURSELF – Analyze your past and present
  • IDENTIFY YOUR DRIVERS – Grasp your personality
  • REINVENT YOURSELF – Set your goals
  • DESIGN YOUR FUTURE – Plan and execute

Your final personal plan is like a business plan.  It clearly defines the new you, and how you become that person using both text and graphics.  But unlike a normal business plan, which you can choose to put aside, your Personal Business Plan is already a work in progress.  As you develop your plan, you are already well on your way to The Good Life.
