I used to think that if only I had the perfect plan in place then that would guarantee me success. In any area of my life – the perfect routine for my kids, the perfect study plan when I was studying for my coaching qualification and now, the perfect plan to do my work as a coach.
What I’ve learnt is that it’s not the plan that guarantees success. It’s taking action. Even if you haven’t got a plan. It’s so easy to get stuck in the researching and planning phase, but then not actually carry it through. I mean that it’s my comfort zone to be honest!
But actually, just taking the action, no matter how small is more valuable than having the perfect plan. Because when you take action, you learn what works and what doesn’t and you can adapt and change. Taking action builds your confidence too.
Keep showing up and keep taking action and that is what will lead you to success.
Do you feel like you have to have the perfect plan in place before you take action?
