PLANNING – Are You Planning to Win by Failing to Plan?
The one thing that you need to know is that if you fail to plan you are planning to win. This statement is probably going to have you reading it a number of times because it seems as if it is turned upside down. Most people assume that if you fail to plan you plan to fail. I want to tell you that this is not entirely true especially in today’s highly robust market. If you have a planning impediment then you need to keep reading this report because it will set you free.
The thing is, planning is designed for controlled environments. If you are creating products you can actually plan to create products. If you have a product creation plan, congratulations, it will probably work. You can control everything that is involved with creating the product.
The same goes if you want to bake a cake. You get a plan and it will probably work because you can control the environment. You can control the temperature, the ingredients and the utensils that you use.

Why, because you have an opponent that’s contesting every single thing you’re doing. Your plan is not going to work. What you need is strategy. What you need is to understand that environment. What you need is to understand everything it is you’re working with. What you need is to understand the strength of the pieces on the board relative to where they’re placed on the board. What you need is strategy.
