"Plans change."
- Common phrase
The simplest phrase has created a SPAWN of new thought for me today. "Plans change." I agree.
When was the last time your "prefect plan" went according to plan? Have you found that more often than not, the best solution was one you NEVER saw coming? If PLAN A crashed and burned today… what would you do to ENSURE your success?
While NO ONE plans for failure, the most SUCCESSFUL people do plan for change. They often have a PRIMARY and SECONDARY approach to success. The FLEXIBILITY exhibited allows them to seek the path of least resistance and be nimble with their decision-making ability. Think SMALL business vs. BIG business… A small business has multiple ways to skin a cat. The big company has very few as the BUREAUCRACY associated with change is overwhelming.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
When planning your success, ACCEPT the fact that your "ideal plan" may never be accepted or implementable.
By RETAINING focus on END GOAL success, you will allow yourself to maintain creativity and flexibility in the path to achieving your goal. By allowing yourself to have alternate pathways to achievement, you will provide yourself with AWARENESS that most others are not able to attain.
Lastly, by ACCEPTING a flexible approach to success, you will be able to MAINTAIN a positive mindset and focused strategy as "hiccups" are found along the way. Attitude is CRITICAL to success. Yours is the only attitude that matters in YOUR success.
Stay flexible. No one cares how you got there… they just recognize it when you ACHIEVE!
Cheers,
Zach
