A Strategic Future?

January, 2015

Happy New Year!

My theme during this season usually revolves around Strategic Planning. That planning is typically the next year or two. How would our planning change if we could imagine what the next 20 years would look like?

We don't know what the future holds. What we do know is that we will grow older, our children will have children of their own, and life will go on - much as it is today. But, what that world will look like is based on the actions we take today.

Every day we are bombarded with the current problems and the prescriptions to alleviate the pain of those problems. What we need are solutions that help to prevent those very problems before they start. Solutions require creative thinking, listening to all the diverse positions, and imagining the impossible as possible. Throughout history the greatest problems have been solved not with money but through a shared commitment to creating a solution.

The world of the future will actually be what our children - and their children - make it. Are we creating people who will succeed in school and work, or people who will succeed in life and create a better world for everyone? If our children can't embrace a vision of the future based on possibility, the world will look and be much as it is now.

The same thinking can be applied to your business. What kind of a world do you want to see for your business? What do you need to be doing today to make that a reality?

Looking forward to a brighter future,

Dave Ferguson

This Month's Insurance Tip:

With the start of new coverage in January, people are discovering that networks have changed as well as the providers in those networks. They are also learning that prescription drug coverage has become much more expensive and restrictive. People who have been adversely affected by these changes can still change plans during Open Enrollment which ends January 31. Call me if you need my help to explore your options.

If you know someone who needs expert help understanding their insurance and their options, have them call me at 847-502-2663. There's no cost or obligation. They can also visit my website.
