A lifetime of achievement doesn’t happen by accident; it’s the result of thorough planning, detailed execution and determination to succeed in achieving ones dreams and life goals.
Once you create a robust plan for reaching your goals, you’ll be surprised at how your confidence and clarity increases.
Accomplishment, then, is only a matter of time.
To be clear, having a plan is different than having a goal. Many people have goals, Eg. finding a new job, making more money, buying a new home or losing weight. But without a solid plan for achieving those goals, research says 92 percent of the people fail eventually.
“Plan is roadmap to reach your goal”
There are countless benefits in doing so, some of which are as follows :
- Enhanced focus. Planning helps you focus on the task at hand—you know what you need to do on priority, and why. This helps you be in control. You get a sense of what you can change and what is outside your scope of control.
- Improved productivity. As author Brian Tracy says, “every minute spent in planning saves as many as ten minutes in execution.” When you know how to get from one place to another, you’re less likely to fail. Planning prevents you from wasting your energy on unnecessary tasks and actions.
- More self confidence. If your goals have always been just beyond your grasp, it may be because you’ve never created an effective plan for reaching them. Once you have a plan in place, you’ll be surprised by how much you’re able to accomplish.
Through my personal experience of working in the last many years on my personal and business goals, I can say,
“A goal without a plan, is just a nice wish”.
When you make a plan, you’re creating the blueprint to get from where you are now to where you want to be in the future. It takes your goal out of the world of fantasy, and into reality.
I hope this article encourages you to start planning and achieve your life goals. Until next, stay safe & stay positive.
