If you want to reach your goals, be they in business or your personal life, consider that you have two basic choices.

One, you can either respond as things popup through out your day, week, or on the fly — or you can make the decision to plan, and to the best of your ability work the plan you have laid out for yourself.

Friend, certainly there will be times where life throws unexpected challenges your way which may take you off your plan, but even in such instances where this occurs you will be much better off if you’ve taken the time to put into place a plan to bring you back to where you need to be then without one.

Make no mistake — having a plan, and the commitment to work that plan is essential if you wish to succeed in your endeavors.
