Exactly. Some small business owners get caught in analysis paralysis – but that’s not the same as planning even. You can analyze without planning – and end up just chasing your tail. The more common ailment is under-planning!

Started life with lots of plans, BIG PLANS, had four children and well, let’s just say too many of my well-made plans blew-up, and after a lot of years of experiencing the unexpected, I blew-off planning altogether. I went from creating to reacting. Life moves forward, kids grow upwards, and things come full-circle. Trust me, lots happens, great things emerge, and life goes on, without any planning whatsoever. But if you want to get somewhere in particular, you need, at the very least to IDENTIFY its location and INTEND on arriving, which really is all planning is. The trick for me now is not to give up on the destination, no matter how often the route there changes, and just MOVE FORWARD.It is the simplest way to make dreams come true.

I’ve just had a session with a client who plans nothing – and achieves …well, nothing. He’s very frustrated that he doesn’t get anything done in his life and has no direction. Starting NOW we have plans and accountability. I don’t know how you can reach your true potential without at least a little thought and planning.
