Often we need to be reminded that we can learn from the past, and we can celebrate it, but we cannot change it. We are where we are today. But we can make decisions to change our path going forward. Keeping this perspective is difficult, especially when you're dealing with tough times.

It's also nice to be reminded that you can prepare for those hard moments. And when you do, the tough times might not turn out as bad as they could have.

I frequently look at the images below to give myself these reminders. These are great visuals for motivation and perspective, and cover almost any situation you find yourself in.

Legacy Planning

What kind of map is best to prepare before you enter the woods of estate settlement? The Estate Map. This spreadsheet guides your family to the important areas they will need to know about. It is a private document where you can record as much vital information as you want, and it gives those you share it with the direction they need to reduce the stress after a loss.

You can download a free Estate Map template on ReluctantExecutor.com. If you need help filling in the gaps, schedule a one-on-one coaching session with me on our Coaching Page.
