Do You Really Need a Plan Laid Out For You?


I wanted to take a minute to talk about plans. Many people want every step laid out and defined before they walk out the front door. I prefer to stay fluid and be willing to see changes and trends, moving toward them and off the beaten path.

If you are someone who likes to stick to the plan I encourage you to watch this video and try another approach if it’s not working for you :)

The best entrepreneurs blaze their own trail. They lay the road that plans are built on top of. Do you want to follow or lead?
