Thanks Nadine. You've provided the secret to successful planning and results. Be realistic and be sure your goals are attainable. School owners often balk at thinking ahead 5 years. But it's essential because it tells everyone you expect to be around for a long time. Year 5 doesn't have to be fleshed out in detail. However, knowing if you want to be a college in 5 years, for example, helps to determine the steps and timelines to get there during the 4 years leading up to the 5th. Thanks, Susan
