9. Never Stop Planning | 10 tips to take care of your future, while you’re taking care of business

We said we’d come back to planning, so here we are. Planning isn’t a one-time thing. If 20 press-ups were all it took to get you in shape for life, well, we’d presumably all be in great shape.

But it’s not enough, nor is it enough to take the time and effort to draw up your plan and then leave it to go cold. When we put together your Metis LifePlan, it doesn’t represent a conclusion in itself. What it represents is the beginning of your new direction and the means to keep you on track.

“Partnership is not a posture but a continuous process that grows stronger each year as we devote ourselves to common tasks.” – JFK

Plan, plan, plan

Between now and next year your life will change. In five years it’ll be different again. Ten years from now, who knows? Those changes could be big, small, good or bad, frequent or infrequent. What matters is that nobody is standing still. Our lives move on, they change and develop, they incorporate new jobs, new partners, even brand new human beings. If you were to start a family, for example, you’d suddenly be looking at a bunch of new goals and very different timelines. If the business were to go exceptionally well, you may find you’re able to do what you want a lot sooner than you expected.

Whatever happens your plan needs to match you at every step, like your shadow. Meeting regularly with your wealth planner to discuss any new developments is like servicing your car every year. You wouldn’t feel safe on the road knowing it hadn’t been checked for a long time, and you’ll feel more content knowing your plan matches your needs just as accurately now as it did on that first day.
