Proper Planning is the recipe for Success

If the best laid plans of mice and men, often go awry, then why even bother planning? Because the very act of planning helps you organize your thinking, shape your future actions, and prepare you for the good, the bad, and the downright ugly that might go wrong. Always remember the six ‘P’ formula for personal and business success: “Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance”. It’s a simple formula for success, but it emphasizes the idea that those that fail to plan, plan to fail.
Why is adequate preparation so important? First off, the planning process forces you to organize your thinking and identify all the key issues that must be dealt with if you are ultimately going to succeed.  Secondly, thinking through what you must do to accomplish your goals enables you to plan your actions carefully before you begin, thereby saving you enormous costs in resources, time, people, or money. Third, a good plan, thoroughly discussed and evaluated, enables you to identify flaws and errors that could prove fatal or have negative consequences later on, and thus improvements can be made to any strategy or idea.  Effective plans are revised and updated regularly. In fact, our original plans can and should evolve over time so we can stay on the right track and get to the destination. By planning ahead we give ourselves time to revise our plans based on updated information on risk, quality, resources, stakeholders, assumptions, and constraints.
By planning ahead we plan for success. Take the time to organise your strategy and have a plan if you want to reach your goals whether personal or professional.
