The Power of a Plan

Hello all you Powerful Ladies,

I am writing to you this evening having just completed my most recent 100 day plan.  Ahh- what an amazing cathartic and exhilarating process!  I went through some serious introspection, became very focused about what I am really trying to accomplish, & crafted 3 goals to move me from where I am today to where I want to go.  I put it all down in writing (ladies you know what happens once it is in writing) so that tomorrow, next week, or a month from now when the chaos of life attempts to take over, I have a tangible object and a concrete system to keep me moving in the right direction.

As there was a time in my life when I did not take the time or the effort to create an action plan, I am going to guess that many of you may be in the same place.  You may have all sorts of ideas about things you want to change, things you plan to do, places you plan to go; but, do you have a plan to get you there?  Think about it, we create meal plans for our families, plans for the afternoon, plans for the weekend, maybe even a 3 year plan.   But what are you doing right NOW to move the needle so that tomorrow you are closer to your goals than you are today?  If you have to ponder for more then 5 seconds to come up with an answer or if the answer is simply no, then it is is time for a plan! 

Creating a plan is easy.   For all of you taking my Ladies class, we will go through the exercise of a current self-assessment and the creation of a 100 day action plan.  For everyone else, carve out an hour or two and sit down and ask yourself where you want to be 3 months from now, a year from now, five years from now.   Ask yourself if the actions you are taking today are going to get you where you want to be in the future (however you choose to define it).  If you have no idea where you want to be a year from now, start to think about it. What does your future life look like, what does it feel like, who is in it, what do you do, what don't you do?  If you are not living your dream life right this minute, then create a plan to start building it.   Here is a news flash for you- if you don't have a plan to move yourself forward then there is a good chance that next year you will be in the exact same position you are right now but with one extra candle on your cake.
Maybe you are are at a really good place, if so Congratulations!  Now take the time to write down what is so good about it so that you can create more of it.  Writing a plan forces you to get granular and intentional about your life.  What are you really after, what does success look like to you, where do you want to go?  Make yourself and your dreams a priority-spend the time to think about and create a plan.  Trust me- after drafting your plan, you will feel like you can conquer anything. And guess what, with a plan, you CAN!
