If You Fail to Plan your Planning to Fail.

We’ve all heard the phrase if you fail to plan your planning to fail.

This phrase is often used to mean that if you don’t plan ahead, you’re setting yourself up for failure. And while that’s certainly true, it’s also important to remember that even the best-laid plans can go awry.

That’s why it’s important to have a backup plan (or two). And to be flexible in your planning, so that you can adapt as needed.

Here are some tips to help you plan for success in the new year:

1. Set realistic goals.

Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by setting unrealistic goals. If you’re not sure what you can realistically achieve, ask a friend or family member for their input.

2. Make a plan.

Once you’ve set your goals, it’s time to make a plan of how you’re going to achieve them. This should include everything from what you need to do each day or week, to what resources you need to accomplish your goals.

3. Set a deadline.

If you don’t set a deadline, it’s easy to procrastinate and never get around to accomplishing your goals. Make sure your deadline is realistic, and give yourself a little wiggle room in case you need it.

4. Be prepared for setbacks.

No matter how well you plan, there will always be setbacks. The best way to deal with them is to be prepared for them. That means having a contingency plan and being flexible in your planning.

Following this approach almost guarantees your success in whatever venture you work in. So it is very crucial to choose to plan every time. Choose success over failure. Remember, If you fail to plan you are planning to fail.
