Every successful business starts with a plan. I don't care if it's a beauty salon, radio shop, show repair company or an online business.
Every single one of them that has been successful begins with a plan.
Now, here’s where a lot of people really screw up. I like to equate it someone trying to go on a diet.
Most people believe that when they start a diet, they have to rigidly stick to it or it’s over.
They soldier on for a good two weeks and never miss a workout or a meal.
Then all of a sudden life gets in the way and throws them a curve ball.
They miss a couple workouts and they go right back to living like the used to thinking they’ve totally screwed up and there’s no point to continue with their plan.
People look at plan like this too and it’s a sure way to assure that you fail.
There has never been anyone, anywhere that has ever laid out a plan and followed through with it to the T without interruptions.
It just doesn’t work that way. But, it’s those who have the ability to make adjustments for these interruptions that carry on and lose the weight in their diets and have success in their businesses.
So, first thing is you must have a plan, but I want you to consciously realize that your plan is just that.
A Plan. It’s not a “if I don’t follow every single step on this plan to the T, all my hard work is for nothing.
Now, to state the obvious, the reason we have a plan is:
• You Have To Know Where You Are Going Before You Start
• If You Don't Have A Plan You Are Setting Yourself Up To Fail
If you don't have a plan on where you are going, how do you expect to ever get anything right?
Warren Buffett once said: "An idiot with a plan can beat a genius without a plan"
The bottom line is, if you don't have a plan, you are setting yourself up to fail before you even get started.
If you have a plan, you have a 100% better chance of success than someone who does not!
