3 Simple ways to turn ideas into reality.
At various times, we've had to plan—Long or short term, ranging from your weekend to weddings to career blueprints.
So, we plan a lot.
Basically, planning is us formulating a course or series of actions that we take, prior to achieving a particular objective.
When we plan, it makes a lot of sense 'upstairs'— Everything goes well in dream land and it so good, that we jump at it.
However, while trying to carry out these plans that we make, we hit eventual roadblocks along the way— It can be really frustrating right?
WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE DISCOURAGED
Many times, things don't go according to plan, and that can be a good thing, or a bad thing; but that doesn't mean we won't make plans anymore.
Sometimes, we just need to:
REFINE IDEAS
You may need to polish up your ideas or redefine concepts, and then it works— pronto!
CHECK FEASIBILITY
Any plans you make need to be feasible in terms of execution — your plans have to actually work!
They have to be practicable and doable.
So,
•Are you capable of making it work?
•Do you have enough resources — materials, time, money, people, etc?
•Do you need help or can you do it alone?
Taking care of these questions before executing makes it easier.
'KNOW' ENOUGH TO SEE IT THROUGH
Knowing as much as possible about what you want to achieve is important because you're only as good as how much you know.
Plans made without being 'informed' most times end up being total flops.
You knowing enough about what you want to do, is like jam on a slice of bread— it 'tastes' good!
SO WHAT NOW?
Planning can be stressful, but its necessary. So take a break, get a pad, write ideas and plan more— because you're going to achieve it!
