I will forever work on become a better, more intelligent, well-rounded individual. I will strive to achieve all of my life-long goals which will develop and evolve as I grow older.   I will never cease in my quest for knowledge, love and happiness.

I will remain persistent and dedicated to me work and the success of my business. I will achieve excellent status by meeting the necessities of my customers/clients and will always maintain and follow the highest ethical standards.

 

I will maintain a debt free lifestyle and will continually work at staying financially solvent. With the success of my business I will have the freedom and ability to pursue all of my personal interests in life.

 

I will continue to cherish, love, and protect my family and friends forever and always. I will be devoted to my wife and devoted to meeting her every need. Together we will raise a beautiful family where we can travel, learn, live, and love together. I will be a good father who works hard at teaching the most important, fundamental principles of life. I will always put my family first.

 

I will never take for granted the life I have and will forever work at maintaining my health and happy. I will learn to enjoy and embrace healthy habits such as eating right and continual exercise.

 

I will be a leader in the community who promotes equality and never treats anybody in a way that I would not like to be treated. I will always help to the best of my ability and will contribute to the success of that community within which I live. I will remain focused on being an active member of that community and participating in effective decision making.

 

I will never let anything consume my life and take away from what makes me happy. I will remain focused and devoted to this goal above all else. I will achieve happiness and therefore success.

 

 

 

Personal Strengths Inventory

 

1. Dedicated – I am good at taking on a job and getting it done well. When I am assigned a project I devote my time and energy to doing the best job I possibly can

 

2. Honest – I am always faithful and truthful. If for some reason I do not fulfill my duties or stick to my word I am always honest as to the reasons why I could not meet the deadline. I have not, do not, and will not steal from anyone, ever. I know how hard it is to be successful and the time that goes into it. I would never try to set people back or take away from their hard worked earnings.

 

3. Reliable – I do not make promises or commitments I do not intend to keep. I have never been known as a “no show”. It is important to me to keep my word and on schedule. I never show up late and I am always willing to be flexible with others needs and schedules.

 

4. Quick Learner – I have an excellent ability to soak up knowledge quickly. If someone teaches/shows me something once, I am capable of  picking it up and never forgetting it, as long as that knowledge is put to use.

 

5. Excellent teacher – This is one of my strengths that uses many different skills. One of the most important is patience. I have learned to be patient and understanding when teaching new things no matter how small or big they might be. I encourage practice and reinforcement. Never do I let anybody walk away from an explanation stumbled and confused.

 

 

Personal Weaknesses Inventory

 

1. Compassionate – I tend to be overly sympathetic or empathetic with other peoples situations. When I see a person is upset and weak, I tend to go out of my way to help them. It is hard for me to look past somebody going through a rough time.

 

2. Accepting – I am too accepting of others and will do a lot if I’m asked or told. My weakness is in saying no. I try very hard to please others, especially my superiors, therefore making it difficult to stand up and say enough is enough. I am reliable and do good work so it is easy for others to ask me for help in completing certain projects or assignments.

 

3. Procrastinator – It is hard for me to dive into a project early on before the deadline. It is not a matter of not knowing how to or wanting to do the work but rather that I perform best when I work against time. I develop extra speed as I approach a deadline.

 

4. Neatness – At times, my need for perfection can create more work and therefore hold me back from finishing as quickly as desired. I like to have everything organized and planned accordingly. I will easily give up time to straighten things out and regain neatness.

 

5. My Emotions – I always express my thoughts and feelings. Whether I am happy or angry I will always speak my mind and tell it how it is. It is had for me to let things go unless they are fully addressed and resolved.

Concentration Areas

#1 Urban planning – The study of landscape architecture and urban design, computer and research methods, urban and development economics, housing, environmental impact assessment, planning and zoning law, transportation, and public policy formulation and administration are all a part of developing urban planning skills.

#2 Business – The uses of accounting, finance, marketing, management, economics, and real estate are all involved in building business skills.

 

Integration

I believe that working in planning and development would help we gain a tremendous amount of knowledge in both disciplines. I would be able to see and understand specific concepts applied to real world situations. I would have the ability to use the knowledge, already acquired through school, in operating a successful business. I will be familiarized with the key elements of owning and operating a business as well as the method to becoming a successful planner/developer.

 

Career Field

Real estate sales/development

 

INTERMEDIATE GOALS

 

I anticipate that I will graduate from college and begin work with a major planning/development firm. I believe this is necessary to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to formulate my own business. I will most likely live in the Phoenix valley, hopefully as a homeowner.
