This file contains important, late-breaking information about RPM Version 2.2. A
separate Pre-Release Findings file is also included on your disc and lists some
aberrations we found just before the release and any work arounds to provide you
with alternative solutions to keep you moving forward with your plans. We
recommend that you read these files and keep a printed copy with your other
documentation. For additional information about installing and running the Rapid
Planning Method (RPM) Life Management Software, use the information below.

Welcome to RPM Version 2.2

This read me file has four sections

1. Installation information - PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

outlined in this section of the READ ME information.
2. New Features in RPM 2.2 - This does not list all of the features of the software
but highlights some of the changes from prior versions. The most notable being
that RPM is compatible with Microsoft XP Operating System.
3. Getting Started - Using RPM as a tool to help you attain results that you desire
and deserve. Send data email set up information.

If you are running a version 2.1p of RPM or are not sure which version of software
you are running please take a moment and identify the version number/letter that
you are running. To check this, click on About (under the Help menu for some
versions). Once you determine that you are running version 2.1p or a different
version you should follow the order of installation as identified below before as
we have created a new patch to make sure that people with the 2.1p version can move
to the 2.2 version without losing any My Enterprise data. If you have a different
version of the software and want to be certain you will also see the installation
order listed below. This is not a difficult process but the order that you install
each item is important so that if you are using version 2.1p you are able to
preserve all of you're my Enterprise Flash report data.

To locate each of the different patches listed in your file click on Explorer and
find RPM after you have installed the disk or downloaded the patch and before you
run set up for any of the next versions.

Then click on the Setup folder in the exact order listed below. If you wish to
have assistance through this process we invite you to contact our Technical Support
line to set up an appointment.

A. If you are running RPM 2.1P

RPM 2.2-FP PATCH.exe: the patch for RPM 2.1p users to upgrade to 2.2.
Only 2.1p users should use this. Install RPM 2.2FP and open ALL of your RPL files
and save them to convert them to the correct format. This version will open 2.1p
files correctly, but not other 2.1 files. Then, proceed to install the RPM 2.2
patch as below and open each RPL file to have the exact same version as other 2.2
users. Both patch installations are required if you were running RPM 2.1p.

B) If you have installed the RPM 2.2 FP or are currently using RPM 2.0 version or
higher
RPM 2.2 PATCH.exe: Use this patch to upgrade from RPM 2.0 or better to RPM 2.2. If
you don't have version 2.1p then you do not need to download or install RPM 2.2fp
this is the only installation that you will need.

If you have OPA or versions of before RPM 2.0 installed then you should be aware
that your data won't convert to this new program.

PROGRAM NOTE: CANI Data from RPM versions issued before 2.0 and OPA files cannot
be imported due to the numerous changes to the data logic. Windows installer may
require you to reboot your system

Before you run the setup program, PLEASE MAKE A BACK UP COPY OF YOUR EXISTING DATA
FILE(S).

HOW TO SET UP YOUR COMPUTER TO SEND DATA THROUGH EMAIL

If you are running Windows NT, you must have the Windows Messaging option
installed. (Outlook and similar e-mail software will do this for you
automatically.)
Here's how to set up your computer for Windows Messaging:
Click Start; point to Settings; click Control Panel.
Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
Select the Windows NT Setup tab.
Scroll through the list and find Windows Messaging.
If its check box is checked, the components have been installed; so go to step 5.
If its check box is not checked, click it.
Click OK.
In the Control Panel, double-click the Internet Options icon.
Click the Programs tab.
From the drop-down menu for e-mail, select the program you use to send and receive
e-mail.
Click OK.
Restart RPM.
Note: If you do not have e-mail software installed, you should still be able to
send your data to other users if you have installed the Windows Messaging
components and have selected Internet Explorer or Netscape as your e-mail program.

HOW TO EXPORT FILES USING SEND DATA

Many of RPM's cells have a right-click pop-up menu that allows you to "Send
Data...". When you select this option, RPM launches your windows e-mail system and
attaches the object you want to an email with pre-populated fields so you can add
to it or send the data as a special .rpl file. This system does not work with
America Online since the attachment set up differs from Windows based email.
The user may open the email for your message and import the rpm file.
When importing the file, the user saves the file to the desktop, and then drags the
file into an open RPM file. At this time, the user may use the RPM Block mover
dialog (accessed by right-clicking an RPM Block) to place the imported RPM block
into a different day or section.
Some "Send Data..." functions executed on a cell send just the text rather than the
entire object. Magic Moments sent from the Celebrate screen are exported in this
way.

2. NEW FEATURES OR ITEMS

RPM is now compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP Operating system.

Archive - RPM creates an archive of your file daily and the default setting is to
never delete any archive files. Archive files are full files and should a power
outage or other disruption occur, the Archive file is a great way to view data from
the previous day or your most recent use. Depending on your use habits you may
decide to save hard drive space and archive files weekly or every 15 days. The
Archive is supplemental and does not replace good back up and saving habits. More
details on this feature are found within the Help file under Getting Started
Application Basics.

Help file revisions - The Help file has been revised. It still gives you the RPM
philosophy but the Tour is now consolidated and part of the Step by Step so the
screen shots and information are all together to minimize clicking. A How To
section has been added and FAQ's have been consolidates so they are all in one
place. Some descriptions have also changed such as the My Life Section. If you
have a question that you need answered we encourage you to use the Help file as a
first step.

Commit Screen defaults to show Results only. You can still view the Must Actions
or action items if you prefer but we encourage you to try committing by Results
then focusing upon the details when you are actually scheduling. After you commit
by result only you have the option to show results with all actions (On the Capture
screen on the Weekly or Daily Create screens). This enables you to commit with
less detail without losing any of the detail in the process.

Maybe a down arrow keys on the scheduler or project list move you back and forward
a day, a week, a month or through your projects.

Daily Celebrations now remain on the Celebrations screen for the entire month so
that you can find them easier and don't need to run through each day to find them!

Find functionality details have been added to make finding items easier.

When Action duration times are included on the Create screen they will override the
Result durations so that the times match
Contacts importing fields have been established to follow a set format so once you
select the fields that you want for import purposes your contacts conform to the
screen set up. Some systems like Microsoft Outlook have more options than RPM
contacts but the RPM contacts log allows you to capture information related to the
people in your life within your RPM plans.

For best results with Pop up Help rest your mouse in the data cell near the title
bar to see the popup help. No further action needed.

3. GETTING STARTED
The Rapid Planning Method - RPM Life Management Software is a mind revolution: it
transforms your massive demands and responsibilities into the exciting realization
that you can accomplish something truly meaningful. It helps you to focus and
define your life by asking yourself new questions. Once you know the results you
are after, discovering how to achieve them becomes immediately clear.

Here's what RPM can help you do:

1) Turn any idea into reality through a simple planning process

2) Allows you to run your Company(s) using RPM software and systems dedicated to
your progress
3) Replace your "to-do" lists with a Weekly and Daily plan that maximizes your time
and rewards your accomplishments
4) Enter all your results and action items once and let your computer automatically
arrange them across different schedules
5) Integrate the planning and the scheduling of personal and professional long-term
and short-term projects
6) Track the Categories or areas of your life to consistently focus on what matters
most to you

... And much, much more.

of the Rapid Planning Method, and guides you through exercises to create your life
plan. If you have been through Time of Your Life and completed the exercises, you
are way ahead of the game, since the life plan you created is RPM data you can use
for your RPM software.

4. NOTABLE ITEMS

Cell alignment - When entering data in some fields the cell data may look out of
place or cover data but will fall into place once you strike the Enter key.

Data shifts- You may notice that the screen shifts to realign data when changing
from Screen to Screen. In many cases there is a message to alert you of Loading
Data but this message does not show on all screens.

Durations from Project Screens are not transferred into Weekly or Daily plans.

Items show on the Schedule screens when committing - Committed items from the
project level also appear on the Weekly Schedule screen under the Committed
Results/Actions list. From there they can be directly scheduled onto the weekly
schedule.

Create screen times will be altered to fit 15 minute increments. If you allow 20
minutes for a call - it will be revised to fit a 15-minute increment when setting
up the schedule. Using 15-minute increments at the outset will help you match your
plan to your schedule better.

What's New in RPM 1.0?

Home Screen
The new Home Screen offers four critical displays at a glance: Your Most Important
Actions Scheduled Today, Leverage Summary for This Week, Active Projects This Week,
and My Commitments This Week. These four displays refresh on the specific
intervals described and will provide a consistent and familiar reminder each time
that you start the software. These will appear blank each time you create a new
file because there is not any data stored.

Pop-Out Calendar
The date always appears under the button near the center-top of the screen. When
clicked, the Pop-Out Calendar appears and allows you to easily move to any date.
In addition, you can jump to Today's date with one click, and you can see what day
or within what week a specific day falls.

Print Preview
The Print Preview function allows you to see what your printout will look like when
it prints.

Column Resizing
Many data columns in the software can be horizontally resized to provide more
space. This is done by hovering over the split between columns at the top of a
table and the cursor will change to a dual-facing arrow. This effect is temporary
and the software will revert after restart.

Scheduling
Numerous improvements have been made to the scheduling system. When you are in a
specific schedule, such as Daily or Weekly, you can easily switch between these
periods. In many cases, the Pop-Out Calendar is also integrated into the
scheduling system.

Contacts
The Contact area now includes an Index page with the most common field types such
as Email and Office Phone and a Details page that offers a much more detailed view
of the information about that contact.

Communications Log
The Communications Log now allows you to see the person in focus as you enter your
commitments and items to be completed.

Reports
The new Reports area initially contains seven standard reports in three areas:
Results, Projects and Leverage. These reports are created on demand and offer a
powerful view of the plans that are in progress.

Status Indicators
The status indicators on the Create screen now allow you to designate items as
Done, In Progress, Abandoned, or None. You can then easily glance at an RPM Block
and know the status of each Action or Result.

Defer Item
When Action items need to be carried over to the next day or week, the Defer
command sends all uncompleted Actions to the next sequential time period and
creates a new follow-up block called "Uncompleted Actions from Last Day/Week".

Completion
The Celebrate screen now tracks the Daily and Weekly Results completed and also
allows you to capture your successes and victories. Any of these can be converted
to Magic Moments, which can be sent to your Journal for that day.

Attach Notes
The Attach Notes function is a valuable tool for feedback and reminders. You can
attach a note to any Action or Result, which can be used for comments from others
or to add information for your own use.

Send Data
The Send Data capability makes use of existing email software if you have it. When
you activate this command, the software will open a new email message and attach
the selected data to send to another person. The recipient simply opens the
attachment when they get it and can send it back with comments if needed.

This README file will be continuously updated as we continue to improve this

software. Look here each time you upgrade to find the latest information.
