MAKE
A PLAN Career
Growth articles have
been taken from Plant What Others Throw Away by Paul R.
Lloyd. The book will be available in paperback this spring
through
www.PromiseGarden.com. I’m seeking endorsements from
published business authors for the back page and inside front
page copy. Call for details: 630-393-6516. |
Pull out a road
map for your local area. Trace the route you usually take from your
home to work or to some other frequent destination. Now, go back and
look for a shorter or faster way of getting there. You may find that
the little side roads are better than taking the interstate,
especially during the rush hour.
Sometimes when
you look at a map, you are surprised to discover that what you
thought was the shortest way to your destination actually is not.
There is another road that you didn’t realize would work better.
Planning is like that. When you start writing down the best ideas
you have for achieving success, you often will be surprised by a new
idea that pops into your head that leads to a better way.
Maps are
printed in lots of colors and are complete until somebody builds a
new road. Your roadmap to success isn’t like that. On the roadmap to
success, the roads are constantly changing. You can always find new
ways to go. Write your roadmap to success on silly putty. That way,
you can stretch out the details or squeeze down on the rough spots.
You can scrunch it all up and start over again. You can squish out
one of the steps and add a new one. Never carve your plan in
concrete or stone. It’s much too hard to adapt when your plan is
written in stone. Write your plan in a way that allows you to make
alterations along the way.
Remember that
the journey to success is spiritual as well as physical.
“Enter
through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road
that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is
the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find
it.”
Matthew
7:13-14
