Why Your Plans Are Likely Preventing You From Obtaining The Success You Seek
The Truth About Every Plan You Will Ever Make
I make Plans all the Time in my Life.
It is True...
If you want to make it Anywhere in Life, you Must Know Where You are Headed.
This has to do with something called Intentionality.
Without a Plan, you will end up Wandering Around Aimlessly.
If you've ever done Survival Training, you'll have Learned...
This is one of the "Worst" Things you can Do in a Survival Situation.
It's the Fastest Way to make yourself More Lost and More At Risk of Perishing.
From a Certain Perspective, you could say that We "All" are in a Survival Situation known as Life.
Perhaps the Stakes do not "Feel" as Dangerous because today's world is far safer than the Past Generations, but there Are still Stakes.
So, we Must have a Plan.
But there is Something You "Must" Understand about Plans...
All Plans...
What Happens To All Plans
Are You Ready?
They are Going to Fail.
100% of the Time.
Now, perhaps I use the word "Fail" a bit Liberally for most people's tastes.
I know that many people "Fear" Failure, and that is a Consequence of how Most of Us (Myself Included) were Brought Up.
So, if it makes you Feel Better...
You can Still find Success with your Plans...
But...
Nothing will "Ever" Go "Perfectly" According to Plan.
Why That Is Fine
This is Not a Real Problem Though.
It is just a part of being Human.
How so?
None of Us, Myself included, are Omnipotent.
Not a Single One of Us Could Possibly, Ever, in a Quadrillion Lifetimes Know Every Possibility That Could Happen.
There are Far Too Many Variables that Exist.
Yet, somewhere in our Planning, we begin to "Think" that we could "Maybe" Plan for Every Possible Outcome.
Which becomes the Problem.
The Sad Fate I’ve Seen So Often
I have met "So" Many Individuals who were Planning their Success.
Some of those Plans were Brilliant.
Truly.
But the Problem is that those Individuals Never "Did" Anything with their Plans.
They Kept Planning...
And Planning...
And Planning...
Until, today, some of the plans that were Created over a Decade Ago...
Are just Sitting on a Shelf in Dust.
All the Effort...
All the Agonizing...
All the Time Taken to Create Extremely Detailed Plans...
All for Nothing.
Sadly, this is the Norm for Most People.
They think that their Plans Need to Succeed "Exactly" as Planned.
But it Never Happens like this.
Even when you are "Certain" that the Day will work out as you Believe.
It Will Not.
My Experience With Plans
I can confirm that I have a Plan for "Every" Single Day.
I have Enacted Plans Every Single Day.
Do you Know How Many Days in the Past 800 Days have Gone According to Plan?
Zero.
None of them.
Today is a great example.
I "Really" thought it would be a Fairly Straight Forward Day.
I felt that, even if the day didn't go "Perfectly" According to Plan, I thought it would be Close.
However, it was Not even "Close" to Plan.
Today has been Chaos for Me.
Nothing has been Close to Plan.
Things took Way Longer than I Imagined.
My Calendar was Dictating my Day, and I barely made some of the Meetings.
There's a Good Chance I'll be working late into the Evening Tonight.
Days this "Off" do not frequently happen, yet when they happen, you Feel It.
But here's the Reality we must Learn when it comes to Plans...
The Real Purpose Of A Plan
Plans are Not Made to be Followed...
At Least...
Not "Perfectly".
What is the Point of a Plan Then?
The Purpose of the Plan is Twofold...
One, Point you in the Right Direction...
Two, Reduce the Total Variables...
If You Do Not Know where You are going, You'll Never Get Anywhere.
So, you need that "North Star" which a Plan Helps with.
The Second Part is where we Frequently get Stuck Though.
We can "Never" Know "All" of the Variables.
Period.
How Plans Are Supposed To Work
A Plan should "Only" Focus on as Many Variables as are your "Largest" Known and "Likely" Challenges, and which Allows you to "Act".
If your Plan starts attempting to go into Unlikely Scenarios, Tiny Problems that will have Little Impact, or the Plan keeps Growing to Prevent you from Acting?
You're Doing Too Much.
Lower the Expectations of the Plan.
It is "Normal" for Plans to Fail.
They "Should" Fail.
You "Will" Get Blindsided by Things You "Never" Could Imagine.
You're Human, and that is Ok.
Don't Let the "Plan" Prevent You from Attaining Your Success.

Psychophysiological Mastery
For Paid Subscribers
Now, when we Look at Psychophysiology, we Learn that the “Plan” is Not the Real Problem.
Why Do So Many People Get Stuck at the Plan?
One Word…
Fear.
They are Afraid of “Not” Being Able to Handle Things Going Wrong.
Which is Normal.
We are All Humans…
And “Most” of us are Not Taught how to Handle Things Going Wrong.
The Plan was Never the Problem.
Our Confidence in Ourselves to Handle “Whatever” Comes Our Way Is.
So, that’s what we’re going to discuss.
There are Six Psychophysiological Aspects that I’m going to Lay Out to Help Handle Whatever Happens.
