Plans, hard work, and you

Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into hard work." -Peter Drucker

The well respected late Peter Drucker was right about plans as he was about so many things. I’m prone to overplanning what I want to do, and not immediately putting those plans into practice.

If you’re too into planning, ask youself if you’re over-planning because there are issues – emotional, financial, practical – that your plans don’t address but need to? It’s not a comfortable question to ask yourself – but it does pay to ask it.

If you have plenty of plans, but not enough hard work, what’s holding you back and how do you start turning some of those plans into action? What are the 3,5 or 8 specific next physical actions you can take to start acting on your plans?

Now that’s a plan I hope Peter would approve of!
