It's just crazy to have a dream - have a plan - and then it all just kind of comes true. To me, that proves that you have to have a vision first.
If we think long term, we can accomplish things that we couldn't otherwise accomplish.
If you plan it out, and it seems logical to you, then you can do it. I discovered the power of a plan.
There are dreamers and there are planners; the planners make their dreams come true.
There are only two kinds of plans. Plans that might work and plans that won't work... you have to take a plan that might work and make it work.
If you don't clarify your goal, you'll never identify the best approach.
The planning is everything. Deciding which dishes you're going to prepare can turn into the make-or-break decision five days later, when you actually serve the meal.
Before you start a business, careful planning is in order to obtain to where you ought to be. The biggest part is to ensure that, once you might have created your own plan, that you simply take motion. Without motion, you are unable to succeed.
The best plans are always the simplest.
To achieve a goal, a dream, a wish, you must plan it out for success!
Good plans shape good decisions. That's why good planning helps to make elusive dreams come true.
The trouble with many plans is that they are based on the way things are now. To be successful, your personal plan must focus on what you want, not what you have.
The outcome of successful planning always looks like luck to saps.
The most valuable advice I can give is plan for your success. Write down your ideal goal, creating checkpoints for yourself along the way that align with the end goal. Set up rewards for achieving both little victories and big ones.
You said, 'Planning is something for communist countries; democracy and planning don't go together!' But, with all the errors we committed, our plans succeeded.
While it will be desirable to achieve planned results, it will be even more important to avoid unplanned disasters.
(The psuedoscience of planning seems almost neurotic in its determination to imitate empiric failure and ignore empiric success.)
