They’re not easy to come by but there are certain aspects of life and careers where there’s a proven plan. A step by step guide to get from here to there. It’s still not easy but the road has been travelled many times before, so just stick with it.
And it’s wonderful, but here’s the often overlooked catch…
After you’ve achieved the proven plan, the only next move is to make up a non proven plan. A plan where it’s going to be hard AND it’s impossible to know for sure if it’s going to work. It’s unproven. It’s back to being scary.
It would be fun to be able to jump from proven plan to proven plan. But eventually the plan runs out of proof. And you have to keep moving anyway.
