Always A Backup Plan

Parents, teachers, pessimists and worriers tell you to make sure you have a backup plan.  A just-in-case plan.  A safety net of protection.

But for you…rather than focusing on a backup plan, give an intense amount of focus to your actual plan.

If you have a detailed plan, follow it and it doesn’t work out, you simply end up at a different place than you intended, not at the threshold of reverting to some sort of backup plan.

It’s about the windshield more than the rear-view mirror.

Let one plan lead to the next, not to the backup.
