Start with a Plan

Whatever you want to accomplish in life - start with a plan! You are not sure if this is true? Well - let's investigate the example of a house.

Have you ever considered how a house is being made? Do you think someone buys a plot, buys unspecified building materials and then just starts using them hoping the outcome will be something one can consider at least to be similar to a house?

No - after buying a plot the measurements of the plot have to be taken, including any slopes, etc. It has to be determined where the sun rises and goes down, as we of course want the make use of the sun to have a lovely living room.

Next you have to determine what you need in a house - how many bed rooms, bathroom, how big the kitchen will have to be and which kind of heating/air conditioning owuld be suitable for where you are. Once these basic parameters are fixed you either make a plan yourself and have it checked by someone who understands the topic or you have to go to someone straight away and hand over your information so that a plan will be drawn up.

When everything is clear and to your liking the building starts. To make sure your house will outlast you need well dimensioned and proper foundations - it wil take a while to place them and people passing bye will not see much - they may even comment on it and wonder why nothing is happening - yet you are informed and aware that good foundations are a necessity. Once they are done the house can be built fairly quickly and things obviously move.

I am sure you will agree to what I have just outlined - well let's relate this to business as a next step. Also in business the planning and foundations have to be solid and sound. There is no business where you can develop a solid income, which starts without thought and without preparation and learning. Of course it will happen that "people who just pass bye" will comment on it and say - well what sort of a busines sis it you are doing - you are not making an ymoney yet - I am sure that's nothing worth while.....
Without a solid plan and knowledge of where you want to go you may be distracted by such an opinion. Yet when you have done things well, set up a proper plan and procedure, you will not be distracted by any such unqualified comment. You know what you are doing and you couldn't care less about "opinions".

Let me tell you one thing: it is the mediocre minds who speak about people and it is the briliant minds who speak about ideas and plans!

Enjoy!
