What are you responsible for? Do you have a list of everything you own? Have you ever stated your desire to make improvements or obtain a new home, car, boat, ATV, computer, etc.? \u00a0All of this qualifies and a plan is the most helpful way to obtain and maintain it all.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2103 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180831-TIF-SM-The-Benefits-of-a-Facilities-Plan-400x400.png?resize=400%2C400\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180831-TIF-SM-The-Benefits-of-a-Facilities-Plan.png?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180831-TIF-SM-The-Benefits-of-a-Facilities-Plan.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180831-TIF-SM-The-Benefits-of-a-Facilities-Plan.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180831-TIF-SM-The-Benefits-of-a-Facilities-Plan.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180831-TIF-SM-The-Benefits-of-a-Facilities-Plan.png?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180831-TIF-SM-The-Benefits-of-a-Facilities-Plan.png?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20180831-TIF-SM-The-Benefits-of-a-Facilities-Plan.png?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>A good plan, always starts with the current location. \u00a0I call it your <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/kerryaclark.com\/blog\/the-2-pieces-of-the-puzzle-you-need-most\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">present state<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u00a0Define what it looks like today. \u00a0\u00a0Over the course of this message series, we will speak to the details you can add and provide examples. \u00a0\u00a0Next, you\u2019ll want to define the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/kerryaclark.com\/blog\/the-2-pieces-of-the-puzzle-you-need-most\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">future state<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or destination. \u00a0What do you desire it to look like? \u00a0The plan, however, is the outline or map to get from the current location to your destination.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A note to consider: don\u2019t get bogged down in defining a future state that may take several years. \u00a0It\u2019s okay, the plan still works no matter how long it takes to reach the destination.
