4 MYTHS
1. A PLAN IS SET IN STONE
"I don't know what to do. This one is certainly true. The question is, why does that bother you? No one actually knows what to do. Sometimes we have a hunch, or a good idea, but we're never sure. The art of challenging the resistance is doing something when you're not certain it's going to work"
- Seth Godin, LinchPin
SUCCESS IS A DIRECTION
NOT A DESTINATION
2. I CAN’T DO IT
3. DON’T NEED TO
WRITE IT DOWN
"If you donʼt know where you are going, youʼll end up someplace else"

PLAN = SIMPLE. FLEXIBLE.
DRIVES ACTION.
