Useful article. I have been a lousy leader most of my life. I haven’t even known where I’m going myself! I didn’t know that you start at the end. That makes complete sense to me. When I tried it starting from the beginning, each year got filled with more and more variables. Thank you so much. This is a useful article, and while I’m sure you’re trying to sell that book, it was very relevant to my keywords entered into Ask.com which was “how do I write a personal five year plan?” (just fyi.) and the info was useful.
Thanks,
Bob K.

I agree with this. Emotional IQ can have a great effect on the outcome of one’s life. Success can be built on a strong emotional IQ level. The unfortunate side, is that typically a lot people with low emotional IQ’s that should be living in the streets are thrown all the lucky bones in life. They still end up at the top for one reason or another. For the most part, I’ve found that a good emotional IQ will keep you out of financial debt.

Good point. I personally would take the marshmellow, invest it, diversify my holdings into cholate bars and graham crackers and then eventually be able to retire with a tasty smore.

But from what I have seen at my current level in the job world there is definately a ’sweet spot’ for the amount of time being employed in one job in terms of how that looks on your resume for your next job.

It can look just as bad being at the same job for too many years as it does jumping from job to job. The trick is to figure out how long that sweet spot is for your industry and position.

I do agree with all of the above….just a thought….is it possible that some of the most successful people in the world are also the most impatient? Some may choose to eat the marshmellow and then go and locate more marshmellows somewhere else, in a quicker amount of time than those who wait obediently for the reward to come to them!

Just a thought though…. great site!
