You set a goal, make a plan, feel unstoppable, and then quit the second, something doesn't go exactly as planned. Here is what I see happening with ambitious business owners all the time. Has this happened to you? Let's say you had a goal of being consistent with your content marketing and you created a plan, and in that plan you allocated Tuesday morning to do a writing session, but then.
That block of your time kept getting hijacked, but urgent client calls, and then instead of adjusting your plan, you threw out the entire goal saying that there's no way you can be consistent with your content. Content creation will never work for you. This is the trap that so many business owners for into whether it's content creation, whether it's working on this project that you've been setting aside for a while or working on your sales process.
You treat your plans like they're set in stone, when really they should be just your GPS that recalculates whenever you hit traffic. And here is what I teach in my dream plan. Do framework. Your goal is sacred, but your plan is flexible. When something doesn't work, what you wanna do is ask yourself. What didn't work and why?
What did work? How can I adjust to make it work better? Maybe Tuesday morning, so not the ideal time for you, but Thursday afternoons could be the key to understanding how you operate and how your business operates, so then you are able to truly create time for important activities that move you forward and stick with them.
80% of the time and also learn how to readjust and adapt your plan if things don't go the way you thought. So here is a challenge I have for you this week. Pick one goal you've abandoned and recommit to it, but this time give yourself permission to. Just the how without abandoning what your future self will.
Thank you for your persistence. Not all or nothing perfection type thinking.
