But How Does One Plan for Success in an Ever-Changing World?

“If you fail to plan, then you’re planning to fail.”

That well-meaning piece of advice needs no explanation, as most would agree with that sentiment, expressed eloquently in several famous quotes throughout history.

But planning is just half the battle…

Committing yourself to and following through with the plan is the other half.

Or is it?

Well…. Yes… and No.

As long as your plan is flexible, then yes.

But, if you are so attached to your plan of action that you can’t deviate from the plan when faced with new challenges, then success will elude you, and any wins will be short-lived at best.

During these times of uncertainty, in a world where the only constant is change, you must not only plan, but also be able to adapt to change and pivot with ease, to succeed in your goal-oriented pursuits. This is especially essential to your success as a passionate entrepreneur or creator, intent on manifesting your lofty vision and achieving your intended results.

Never give up on your dreams!
