Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy

Welcome to Day 354 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.

This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom

Your Life Plan Blueprint – WESPER Step-2: Establish – Principles 8-10

Thank you for joining us for our 7 days a week, 7 minutes of wisdom podcast. This is Day 354 of our trek, and earlier this month we began a detailed series, which we originally introduced in January, called Your Life Plan Blueprint. We have synthesized the information into a 100 page PDF manual/workbook which contains all forms needed to create and maintain your personal life plan.

This is our initial release of the manual/workbook, and it is available for download at Wisdom-Trek.com on the left-hand sidebar of any page. Or, if you are listening on your smartphone, you can text the word LifePlan (with no spaces) to 44222 and Your Life Plan Blueprint will be delivered to you in an email. The manual/workbook is free during the month of May, so I would encourage you to become one of our early adopters so that all updates will be available to you for free also. By the end of 2016, we will have a complete web/mobile version available of Your Life Plan Blueprint.

Thank you so much for coming along with me as we trek through each page of Your Life Plan Blueprint. If you would like to listen to any of the past episodes, please go to Wisdom-Trek.com to listen to them and read the daily journal. You can also subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on iTunes, Spreaker, Stitcher, Soundcloud, iHeart Radio, and Google Play, so each day’s trek will be downloaded to you automatically.

We are broadcasting from our studio at The Big House in Marietta, Ohio. We are making slow but steady progress on the woodwork in the parlor, so hopefully we will be able to finish up applying polyurethane by this weekend. I was also able to get the lawn mowed, and it was well past due on that. I will probably have to mow it again soon, as the grass was so tall it did not cut very well.

We continue to enjoy watching our hawks fly back and forth every few minutes with worms and rodents for the chicks. It is amazing the number of black birds that pester the hawks. From what I have read, it is either a territorial issue or the smaller birds are after some quick prey from the hawks. They are persistent, but the hawks are steadfast in feeding their chicks.

As a reminder, we are looking at changing the format of Wisdom-Trek on June 1^st. Please email me at guthrie@venturecg.com or leave a comment at the bottom of today’s journal and let me know if you would like me to continue Wisdom-Trek on a 7 day, 5 day, or 3 day per week schedule. Also, let me know if you would like any changes to the format of the daily trek. Thank you in advance for your feedback!

It is now time to get started on the 16^th day of Your Life Plan Blueprint Workbook. If you missed any of the previous days in this series, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. On our trek today, we will continue our deep exploration of each of the phases of the WESPER Framework. Today we finish with the 2^nd step as we examine principles 8-10 and also stop by 4 checkpoints that make up the establish phase. We are taking several days to hike you through each step of creating your life plan. I would encourage you to trek with me through this process and complete the associated forms that are included Your Life Plan Blueprint Workbook.

WESPER Step 2: Establish – Principles 8-10

If you are following along in the manual/workbook, today let’s start exploring on page 34, which covers principles 8-10 of the establish phase of Your Life Plan Blueprint. We will explore the final three principles in order starting with principle 8.

As we wrap up the establish phase of our WESPER Framework, let’s review 4 checkpoints that will help you to succeed in creating your life plan. This information is located on page 35 of Your Life Plan Blueprint Workbook.

On our trek today, we have examined Principles 8-10 of the 2^nd Step of the WESPER Framework, which is establish. We also reviewed the 4 checkpoints that will help you stay the course when creating your life plan.

Tomorrow we will start on Step 3 of the WESPER Framework, which is strategy. We will explore the three core elements of strategy before embarking on the 10 guidelines for an effective strategy. The information on the Core Elements is located on pages 36-37 of Your Life Plan Blueprint manual/workbook.  If you have not done so already, make sure you download Your Life Plan Blueprint, and

encourage your friends and family to join us. Then come along tomorrow for another day of our Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.

That will finish our trek for today. As you enjoy your daily dose of wisdom, we ask you to help us grow Wisdom-Trek by sharing with your family and friends through email, Facebook, Twitter, or in person so they can come along with us each day.

Thank you for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and most of all your friend as I serve you through the Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal each day.

As we take this trek together, let us always:

1. Live Abundantly (Fully)
2. Love Unconditionally
3. Listen Intentionally
4. Learn Continuously
5. Lend to others Generously
6. Lead with Integrity
7. Leave a Living Legacy Each Day

This is Guthrie Chamberlain reminding you to Keep Moving Forward, Enjoy Your Journey, and Create a Great Day Every Day! See you tomorrow!
