Tutorial - Budget

In the system you are learning you have 4 critical resources at your disposal:

• Time with a value of 1,
• effort with a value of 2,
• money, with a value of 3, and
• your creative vitality, with a value of 4.

Please note the following:

1. All elements are important, but in negotiations, creative vitality has proven 4 times as critical as time, the percentage of funds you have actually committed (i.e., money) 3 times as important, and so forth.
2. Some provident people track the time and money they invest in different enterprises. Few, however, have a way of checking on the extent of effort and creativity expended. But this is a great loss, since without a way of monetizing our expenditure of these resources, we squander them. In this program, you will acquire a handy tool to keep track of all four elements in the form of Integrity Budget Units (IBUs).

   

In considering budget, here are some important keys:

• Allocate your budget after you know what you want and have prepared your mission and purpose.
• Check your expenditures from time to time to see whether you are on budget.
• Conserve your most precious resource, your creative vitality, whenever you have a chance.
• Beware of those who waste your creative energies as a result of their own ineffectiveness or perversity.
• Take steps whenever you can to replenish your budget and to re-create yourself.
