I didn't really agree with this video. Although I agree that we should have an overall plan for our future, I think life is far more and much more complicated than that. In theory, a life game plane may sound like the right thing, but in actuality life is about spontaneity, opportunities that arise and living as if it was your last day. And for those things, we are motivated to do more with our "game of life." I am a firm believer in that.

Yes, I agree one hundred percent we must all have a game plan. Life is probably one of the most toughest things that you can control. However, having a game plan can help yo navigate through some of the unexpected occurrences.

Well now... this made me step back and "SWOT" myself. I was left wondering what is my game plan in life? Do I really have one? I used to when I was younger. I had a well developed path from 96-2008 on what and where I was and what I would be doing... then came crazy life changes, markets crashing, re-enrollment in school, health issues and life in general. I am so far off of my planned trajectory, that I really need a total overhaul as graduation quickly approaches. I used to know exactly who I was and what I was doing and where I was going. Now I find myself asking myself what was I thinking. What am I doing and what am I REALLY going to do. I need to regain control of myself and get a game plan for my life and stop letting life dictate my progress and where I am heading. Those are my choices.

Having a game plan in life is important. Making a game plan makes it easier to achieve your goals by following guide lines and not getting side tracked. I enjoy having a game plan everyday by having a to-do list, it makes me less stressed out and keeps me on track so that I can get everything accomplished.

great video, naturally we tend to lean towards disorder. if we have a solid game plan than we are much more likely to find success. people never plan to fail, they fail to plan. one of the most important things we can do is set a plan in every aspect of our life and then work out that plan.

Having a well thought out game plan for life can be very beneficial to individuals. Laying out your goals and a time schedule in which to achieve these goals gives people something to strive for. I myself have a game plan for life from continuing my education, supporting my husband in his endeavors, and eventually starting our family together. I believe your game plan for life should be an outline of your goals, as I mentioned above. People should not have every little detail laid out for their entire lives, you have to leave some room for change in life. Having your thought out game plan will ensure people to achieve their goals in life.

It’s always a good thing to have a game plan/life plan. I am a planner, so this isn’t anything new to me, but for I would encourage anyone to have a plan. Plans keep you on track, they keep you from feeling lost, and most importantly they help you mature. From something as simple as planning your day, to something as large as planning your college career, you should always have a plan. One thing to remember is not all plans go as planned, but you can’t get discouraged. Even if your plans take an abrupt turn, at least you know you tried.

Having a game plan is very important in personal and business life. First, we must come up with short term and long term goals. Then, we need realistic ways to go about achieving our goals. Having a well though out game plan is the foundation for any successful business. Organization is a very important key. If we don' create a game plan for ourselves, it's like shooting in the dark.

Of course having a good game plan is key in business. Who want's to jump into anything and just "go with the flow" when money is evolved. Anything that requires time, money or effort, should always consist of a great game plan. The better processed and analyzed game plan, the better your chances of having a positive outcome. However, sometimes, that great game plan may take time to develop and that's where your patience comes in. Some may also require a little failure to get it right, but nothing great comes without a great game plan.

Having a game plan can help a business in the long run, but being able to change and adjust the game plan on the fly is what makes a business owner successful. Stable game plans for business and life are what we strive for, but curve balls can be thrown at any moment in time. Knowing what to do and how to react to any trouble thrown your way will make you a better person overall.

It is incredibly important to stay focused throughout your life. Not only is that important professionally, but personally. Staying focused and having a good set of goals could help anyone.

This video was a little too vague for me. I do believe in having a game plan for your business and everything that you do, but it's easier said than done. When I graduated high school I had a 5 year plan and so far I've followed it pretty much on track. But my life plan is way off course. The problem with plans is that one single slip or change can alter the entire plan and that can make you feel discouraged or like a failure. There should be some sort of plan though. Can't lead the blind into safety when you're blind yourself.

Planning for the future is ideal. In businesses there are different ways to plan for future marketing and production by using forecasting techniques and reseraching trends or the past. In your personal life, you need to plan for your future as well. After high school, which college to attend? Which field do you want to study in? Will you get your Masters degree as well? What is the time frame? Such things are easier to achieve if there is an overall plan on how to achieve it.

I agree you must have a game plan in life and in business, otherwise you don't have any guidelines on what you attempting to accomplish and will not know if you are taking the right steps to meet those achievements.

Game plans are a great way to live life but in my experience, the plan is usually not the way it goes. A game plan for life is something you can make but not always control. Life isn't about making a game plan. It's about adapting to a new game plan when it has to change.
