Moving towards future plans
When starting something new, whilst it's great to have a long term strategy, it is also important to focus on the present.

The long term strategy gives you something to focus … Continue reading Moving towards future plans

Changing long-term plans
Most of us have some idea of where we'd like to be in 5, 10 maybe even 20 years time. But sometimes the gap between now and then, is pretty hazy.
