Create a Powerful Life Plan!

Ready to jumpstart your life, but not sure how?

Years ago I was fat, unfulfilled, and unfocused. Then I got serious about making changes, writing an achievable life vision and goals. Starting with weight, I lost twenty-five pounds and gained great energy. This motivated me to organize my home and time, rediscover the joy in parenting, and speak professionally part-time to share with others what I had learned.

That was my ideal life change, what’s yours?

Create a Powerful Life Plan: 3 Simple Steps to Your Ideal Life! will help you achieve life changes in three stress-free steps. You’ll learn how to create a clear vision of your ideal life. Then, how to set and achieve simple, enjoyable goals to make that vision a reality. And finally, what to do when you become stuck, fearful, or frustrated.

You’ll also read the real-life experiences of five women who put their Life Plan into action. And receive online support through podcasts, video segments, blog posts and more at www.conniesokol.com.

Now is the best time to become the person you want to be, and live the life you yearn to live. No gimmicks, no hoopla, just solid, time-tested principles and practices that will help you achieve your dreams and goals, and enjoy the process.

So, are you ready to create your powerful Life Plan?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Although this is far from my favorite book of Connie Sokol, I have no problem rating it a solid five stars. The reason is that the information and its arrangement within this book is so well done and potentially life-changing. Again, the examples in her book are the absolute pinnacle of the book, and her worksheets are invaluable. This is intended as a workbook; just reading it as I did is not the way to read this book, but my purpose was to evaluate and review this book.

I want to praise Connie for sharing a weight loss story in the beginning since that is something that will always be at the forefront of my mind. While I didn’t go through the various steps in the way she shared, I did something very similar to this several years ago when I lost my fifty pounds (and kept it off!). However, I am attempting to lose my last ten pounds, and her story made me feel so encouraged. While I haven’t done everything she delineated within the book, I am seeing results. Shortly after reading my first Connie Sokol book, I actually set up a board (which I intended to cover with images), and this book has inspired me to work towards creating some kind of life plan. I may not go through all the steps, but I inwardly cringe at having a barren bulletin board near my bed.

My only complaint is that the spiritual is not emphasized nearly as much as it was in her other books. I know her focus in this book is not to be devotional, but in her other books that I have read, God was at the center of everything. I felt that this book was more secularized than I would have liked it to have been. It was as though she almost apologized for faith, and she calls upon women to get in touch with whatever “god” and spiritual side they rely upon. I would have preferred her using the opportunity to demonstrate the way in which faith is what carried her through her life plan. She kind of does this, but it is not nearly as robust as her other books. But that is merely a personal preference, and it does not diminish the message of this book.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
