A plan is a series of written down actions that must be taken that should lead to an expected outcome.
However, what is not written down is not a Plan, it is simply a Wish or an Intention.
Intentions are good but they are not good enough.
The reason is because, different things can occur that will obscure the intentions that you have and thereby make you go off course.
I like to give an acrostic meaning for the word PLAN. I define it as - Pushing Life Ahead Nevertheless.
A plan can be seen as Intentions that are written down. Plans help you to Push Life Ahead Nevertheless!
The best planners come out better than the rest. The great successful companies and organizations you see all around you have a tradition or culture of detailed planning.
Planning is a fundamental law that is embedded in the overall Law of Success. For example, you went to school.successfully because the curriculum was planned out and implemented.
If the school was based on anything being taught without a direction (a plan), people will attend school all their life!
However, because the school plan is on ground and things have been pre-decided, people can know when they will finish. They also know the repercussions for their own academic activities or inactivities.
The same thing applies to all of life and we must apply it to our own life. Planning is crucial, it is essential. It is fundamental to success.
Life doesn't just happen, plan and work the plan. However, if life happens to you, go back to the drawing table and redraw the plan.
You can't afford to live a planless life. That's a sure pathway to regret in old age.
Like it is said, " those who fail to plan have planned to fail".
If you would like to rebuild your life or company and repurpose it for greater fulfillment and meaning, let's help you achieve your dream. It's possible!
Have a great day!
