Top 7 Reasons to Have a Plan
By Laura Posey
It is that time of year – time to plan for 2009! Why, you ask, should you take the time to sit down and write out a plan for the coming year, especially when you’ve never done it before?
Here are seven great reasons to carve out a few minutes for planning:
1. If you don’t make a plan, you’ll have no idea whether the money you are spending on sales and marketing is getting you where you want to go. In other words, you’ll probably waste a bunch of money that could have gone into your pocket!
2. Planning now allows you to relax and just execute the rest of the year. Imagine going on a two-month vacation without a plan. The twelve months of earning your income is just as important as that vacation.
3. Without a plan you won’t know if you are doing the right things or the wrong things to be successful.
4. Without a plan you can never complete your work because you don’t know where the beginning and end are.
5. Without a plan, no one else can help you reach your goals. You’re stuck doing it alone.
6. People who write down their goals and plans to achieve them earn, on average, three times more than others, who don’t plan, do.
7. Having a plan will inspire you to accomplish the things that are important to you. Whenever you feel your energy flagging, you can refer to it for a boost of energy.
