"Planning For A Future Without Fear"

Contributed by Jim Parisi on Mar 26, 2003

It’s an important question. Without a plan, the noblest words are virtually meaningless. You can dream all you want but if you don’t have any direction for making dreams come true you are just dreaming the impossible dream.
