Motivation… A Study… Part II

The Plan

Okay, so you’ve taken the first action step and mapped out the PLAN for achieving your goal….Right???!!!

No??!! Well, the PLAN is the KEY FACTOR to obtaining success.

No one PLANS to FAIL. But when we Fail to Plan it essentially solidifies an outcome of failure. This concept sounds so OBVIOUS, yet so many of us still attempt to achieve a goal by just “Wingin'” it.

The Plan doesn’t have to be some immensely complex document. In fact, simplifying it can be very beneficial in avoiding the “Purpose Paralysis” mentioned in Part I of this study on Motivation. Regardless, we need a Plan that acts as a Road Map and provides step-by-step directions for us to navigate toward and ultimately reach Success.

We also need to build in a measure of Plan Flexibility. While certain aspects in reaching success will be black and white, other portions may require tweaking…especially if they aren’t providing outcomes that will accomplish the final goal.

Another thought to consider when we begin to formulate our Plan is to seek counsel from someone who has already attained the level of Success upon which we have set our sights. Experiencing this type of consultation will shorten our learning curve by increasing our awareness and as a result will allow us to avoid pitfalls and other obstacles.

Finally, we have to BELIEVE within the depths of our Soul that we CAN SUCCEED!!!

So, It’s SSSSimple…

Set your sights on SUCCESS.

Seek good counsel to Formulate a PLAN.

Search your Soul for the Belief.

See yourself SUCCEEDING!
