Plans
are nothing; planning is everything.
If
you have accomplished all that you have planned for yourself, you have not
planned enough
Always
have a plan, and believe in it. Nothing happens by accident.
To
be prepared is half the victory.
Success
or failure is often determined on the drawing board.
Meticulous
planning will enable everything a man does to appear spontaneous.
A
good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan
executed next week.
George S. Patton - 1885-1945, Army General
First
you write down your goal; your second job is to break down your goal into a
series of steps, beginning with steps which are absurdly easy.
Thoroughness characterizes all successful men. Genius is the art of taking infinite pains. All great achievement has been characterized by extreme care, infinite painstaking, even to the minutest detail.
Strategic
planning will help you fully uncover your available options, set priorities for
them, and define the methods to achieve them.
The
best business plans are straightforward documents that spell out the ''who,
what, where, why, and how much... ''
Paula
Nelson
f you employed study, thinking, and planning time daily, you could develop and use the power that can change the course of your destiny.
W.
Clement Stone
Everything
someone does on a daily basis should be traceable back to an annual or quarterly
plan.
One
thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast withers as
rapidly; and that which grows slow endures.
Josiah Gilbert Holland - 1819-1881, Author
