Most things in nature – including trees – operate on an annual cycle of growth and renewal.
Growth Rings is an approach to planning your personal success that follows this model. Each year brings an action-oriented plan that is alive for a season and then becomes part of the historical record. The next Growth Ring is bigger and bolder, but it follows the general outline of the previous year. A Growth Ring plan consists of 4 components, each containing several exhibits, as follows:
Self Awareness
Find your North Star.
Live your Values
State your Purpose
2. Vision
Choose what Matters
Dream your Grand Project
Focus your Vision
3. Preparation
Build your Network
Embrace great Habits
Acquire the Skills
4. Execution
