Temporary defeat should mean only one thing, the certain knowledge that there is something wrong with your plan. Millions of men go through life in misery and poverty, because they lack a sound plan through which to accumulate a fortune.
Henry Ford accumulated a fortune, not because of his superior mind, but because he adopted and followed a PLAN which proved to be sound. A thousand men could be pointed out, each with a better education than Ford’s, yet each of whom lives in poverty, because he does not possess the RIGHT plan for the accumulation of money.
How Sound is Your Plan?
Although I understand the importance of planning, it can be very difficult to make “sound plans” with so much going on these days…. especially if we’re not willing to Block adequate Time to plan. Considering that we should have a plan for just about everything, it amazes me to see how much we don’t have planned out.
Just imagine if you had a solid routine/plan to do all of the following things everyday...
Waking up when you're finished sleeping, on time, and fully rested.
Enjoying a delicious breakfast each morning with good company and good conversation…. or just some good old peace and quiet.
Getting in a nice workout whether that means going to the gym, walking, riding a bike, etc….
Taking a nice long shower/bath after your workout and still have enough time to make it to work 10-15 early.
Reporting to a job or businesses that you LOVE.
Do your mornings look anything like this? My mornings are not as smooth, however, I’m working intelligently (and hard) to get it to the point where my mornings will flow smoothly as described above. We deserve to have more stress free mornings than stressful mornings, however, it will never happen if we don’t PLAN FOR IT TO HAPPEN.
