This product was developed my a returned missionary literally weeks after returning home. He was determined to maintain the positive internal changes he had made over the course of his mission and to remember what he had learned. On his mission he learned of the power of goals and planning, and wanted to keep setting goals and planning for their successful accomplishment after returning home.
After searching in stores and online for a planner to help him lead a productive life, he realized that he really really liked the missionary planner. He had used it every day for two years, had grown accustomed to it, and had learned how best to use it. It was perfect. But now a returned missionary, he wasn't able to get his hands on any.
He thought that surely someone had adapted the planner for returned missionaries, so he searched online for a returned missionary planner - to no avail. How could it be?! This beautiful little spiral-bound book, packed with productive power waiting to be unleashed was lost to all who knew it best! He was distraught - so he decided to make his own. At first just to use for himself, then to help other returned missionaries as well. (www.RMDailyPlanner.com)
It was an exciting journey for this young returned missionary; from design, to business development, to the first sale at the BYU Bookstore, to now - shipping planners to returned missionaries from the USA to Germany to Australia to Japan and all over the world.
Why do we do it? Because we believe in the vision this product was born from - to help returned missionaries continue seamlessly on the path of progression. We don't believe in taking steps backwards. We don't believe in relinquishing self-discipline to take easier paths. We believe in reaching farther, going higher, and forever moving forward.
Life changes. Good habits shouldn't.
