The Importance of Preparation

Imagine you’re at the airport, and you’d like to get on a plane

Now, imagine you don’t check in for your flight, you don’t go through security, and you don’t find out what gate your plane is leaving from.

 

Will you end up on the plane? Probably not.

 

Big goals and changes are no different. Often, the goal we’re hoping to accomplish is far away. These goals can be things like changes to routine, learning new skills, saving for a big trip, or anything else you’d like.

 

They’re all similar to going through the airport. If you know the steps you need to do, and are prepared for them, your goals can be accomplished with as much certainty as a plane ticket getting you on a plane.

 

Through these next few exercises, you’ll create a plan, with the idea that preparation is the ticket to success.
