Worksheet #6:
MY ASSUMPTIONS
ABOUT
THE FUTURE
This optional Stop #6 in your Growth Planning Journey helps you identify trends and assumptions about the future that 
could positively or negatively affect you and others 5 to 15 years from now.
Trends can include technological, social, political, and economic changes affecting your chosen career areas, the type of education you may want, how and where you may want to live, and even the kind of person you want to marry.
To get started, you identify the title of one or more trends that you think could affect you in the future.
Then, you list what you assume to be important and true about that trend.
Finally, you identify some specific ways that the trend could affect you, and what you will do to make sure that your Growth Plan fits future, rather than just current, realities.
While this is a very helpful mental exercise, no part of Worksheet #6 forwards into Worksheet #10, your Growth Plan.
