Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail
You may have heard this platitude before. It really resonates with me and is something I say to my team time and time again. To achieve your goals , whether they are to achieve a Maximum Residual Income, Financial Freedom, Fire Your Boss, etc…, you must have a plan to get there. Being plugged into a system or part of a group isn’t enough. Subscribing to ideals is not a lottery ticket. Achieving success and attaining your goals requires following a detailed plan with commitment and desire. These two components of executing your plan through to a desired outcome are crucial. You know what you want, now you must commit to the work that needs to be done to reach those goals. If you truly commit to the plan it is because you have a real desire to get to your destination.
How do you come up with this plan of action? This can be the part where most get stifled before they even begin their action. The best way that I have learned to come up with a plan is to look to someone who has succeeded in the same areas that I am looking to succeed. Find out what they did to attain their success. You do not have to re-create the wheel. Success leaves clues. You can create your own plan by following the map of those who have already paved the road.
Once you have a general plan in place. Prioritize your action. Go with the activities that are going to generate your results. If your plan is toward an income goal — Spend your time on M.M.A. – Money Making Activities. Do not get so caught up in planning that you never take action. The way to move to your goals is to execute your plan. This may seem like an obvious statement, but there are alot of people that spend so much time getting ready to get ready that they never get going.
Set Your Goals, Create a Plan, Take Massive Action!
“We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it. It Pays to Take Life Seriously” Proverbs 16:9
Dedicated To Your Success!!

Hi Derek,
I absolutely agree with you on setting goals, creating a plan and following it thru.
I did some posts on this topic some months ago too!

I agree. I’ve fallen into the trap of doing way too much planning and dreaming and then taking no action.
The key to success is a good balance of both. At least that’s what I’ve found so far.
