Have a Plan

“The best way to get to your destination is to know where

your going . . . . and have a plan to get you there.”

Lou Ludwig, Sales and Management Consultant,

Success Coach, Speaker, Trainer and Author

 

As I see it . . . . . . . .

Have a plan

 

Without having a clear and focused direction for your life you will lack a direction and a target to aim for . . . . You’ll come to find yourself drifting with no real sense of direction in your life. Resulting in the wasting of your time . . . . and efforts without achieving any tangible results.

 

You can make the efforts to achieve success . . . . and invest a lot of time . . . . But if you’re not moving in the right direction you’ll miss your mark.

 

You have to invest your time . . . . your efforts to take you in . . . . the right direction . . . . The direction  . . . . of achieving your goals.

 

Indentify the direction that you want your life to move in . . . . and know what you want to accomplish (your goals). Once you establish that direction . . . . create a plan to successfully reach your objectives. Pursue that course of action with determination . . . . and purpose to achieve your desired outcome.

 

Know the direction that you want to move in . . . . Have a plan to get you there successfully. Focus your efforts on your plan . . . . and you will keep yourself on purpose to achieve your objectives.

If you do not have a plan you will not have any direction. You need a plan to guide your career and life

Have a plan and get moving. You don't have to have it 100% worked out, you never will.

Proper planning prevents poor performance (the 5 P's)...plan your work, work your plan.

This is very good advice for all of us.

Many real estate professionals fail to identify a destination.

Lou this is so true. Often times I see people that make a plan, but the plan isn't working but they stick to it - far too long.  It's good to make a plan and shift as needed along the journey of life.
