Ready, Fire, Aim

I’ve had several coaching calls lately where my sweet little clients want everything to be perfect before they hit the “Go” button. They want “it” to be perfect. They want everything figured out. They want assurance that it’s all going to go to plan. Yeah….. that whole planning thing…. see, planning is great. You need plans.

At that point, the plan is a useful guide, but the eventual outcome will always look different from the original plan.
