To know a very successful business man you should request for their stock book, in it you will find out if they are progressing, dropping, made gains or had loss during the business period. To be honest you will find it difficult to have any company or business whatsoever hand you their stock book, even as a staff in that establishment its extremely difficult to see it not to talk about touching it. Only few people have access to this stock book(s). The accountants or accounts department, the auditors and finally the owners or shareholders of that business.
With the above its to show us the readers how important a Stockbook is, how it is kept safe and away from almost everyone except the privileged few. We can also say the company's secrets is the stock book.
I was not going to talk about business anyway, it was an illustration to give you the reader a direction or perhaps a clear picture of what i am about to say next. In other words you do not only do stock checking in business alone, almost all aspect of life needs stock checking. Evaluation won't be properly done or complete without stock checking.
"As human being when last did you check your personal life stock?"
Some people do stock checking either at the beginning, middle or at the end of every year, in other to ascertain their achievements, goals, aims, for the year. We can also say they do stocking checking in other to know far and well, how poor or good they have performed at a given time.
As human we all need that period we must sit down give an account of what we have for a year, be it achievement, failure, what have you. It will give you directions and guide on how to meet up in the coming year, it exposes you to so many things such as
• Where to make amend.
• How to make amend.
• When to make amend.
Taking stock of your life gives you a purpose for waking up and living your life towards achieving it.
" if a man doesn't have a purpose for waking up, sleeping becomes the order of the day"
How do you go about it?
The year is coming to an end already, so its an opportunity to start taking stock. Get a book, write down the following:
• Things you want before the year runs out.
( Things you want before the year runs out could be, having a car, getting your masters degree, starting up a business, having an amount of money in your bank account. This list is endless just sit down and think about it.)
• Where you want to be.
( where you want to be in terms of your personality, what kind of person you want to become, when you want to get married, if you're not already, how many kids you want to have, what kind of meal you want to eat and health.)
• How you're going to make it work.
( Here its where the work begins because you can make a whole list in their thousands but with the zeal, right source and support, it will just be a mare dream without actions. So at this stage its the action house where you have to make things work at all cost. Time is also important at this stage, because if you dont work with time too, you may end up not doing any and even if you do you would have spent a lot of time doing nothing )
• Have a back up plan in the case it doesn't go that way.
( In life its true and a fact that its not all you want and the way you want it, it comes. So you need to have a plan B, a second plan just in the case of an unforeseen circumstances beyond your control at that moment.
So are you sitting down and thinking how unfair life has been since this year 2018 and how you may likely continue to be in that state again?
STOP!... Start making plans and taking stock of your life. It will help you achieve a lot withing the shortest time and in an unexpected way.
Remember a dream without an action is like, talking without acting.
For those of us who have been taking stock of ourselves, i need to encourage you by saying "never give up, keep it up". You can also share from your pool of experience or advice readers at the comment section, so that others can learn a thing or two from there.
Don't forget that newton's 1st and 3rd law of motion says
" Everybody or object continues to be in its state of rest unless and external body provides a force to make it move. (Be that external force)
To every action there is equal and opposite reaction
(match your plans with actions, in other to have a positive reaction."
