PJ’s PERSPECTIVE









                       Begin With the End in Mind





                       PJ Kleffner, DTM - District Director






                                                              think about the end of June and to post our

                                                              share my initial thought, which was to be the
                                                              Immediate Past District Director. However,
                                                              her question reminded me of one of the habits
                                                              espoused by Stephen Covey, author of The 7

                                         month’s District     the end in mind.”
                                         Director meeting        “Begin with the end in mind” is such a simple,
                                            with Cindy        yet powerful concept. As baseball great, Yogi

                                         Laatsch, Region      Berra, said “If you don’t know where you are
                                             Advisor, we      going, you’ll end up someplace else.” Some of
                                               were asked     the things Yogi said don’t make a lot of sense,
                                                         to   but this one is quite profound. If you don’t know

                                                              where you want to be when June rolls around, it
                                                              is easy to get distracted, and you will most likely
                                                                find yourself someplace else. The question,
                                                                  then, is “Where do you want to be in June?”
