Stick To The #$%@& Plan!

Time for some tough love
with a full disclaimer in advance - this is for entertainment purposes and does not constitute medical, psychological or legal advice.

Are you not entertained? lol

Here's your reminder.
The whole point of a plan is you stick to it.
It's not a plan until you lose your motivation.
It's not a plan as long as you have no distractions.
It's not a plan as long as everyone is nice to you,.
It's not a plan as long as you're in a good mood.

It's a plan.
If you commit to something important, 
then you stick to it through thick and thin.
Ask for help.
Call every favor you can in if that's what's needed.
But stick to the #$@& plan!

There has to be some things
you commit to that are non negotiable.
This isn't just about diets or deadlines.
This is about you honoring yourself.

Don't be a professional explainer -
why you can't do something. 
You may end up making miracles happen for other people
and the most you'll get back is "thx."

If you're working on big things
you're going to always be behind.
If not, make your projects big enough until you are.
That feeling of overwhelm - you're alive.
Don't try to lull yourself to sleep.

Don't make your dreams
live off your dirtiest scraps of time
because you're scared.
It's always a bad time.
It's always inconvenient.

That's what a plan is for.
A plan is not a crystal ball.
It's just where you're headed.
Problems will come up.
That's when you stick to the plan.

Don't stop doing outreach for new clients
because you have stuff coming up.
Work it in.

If you have something that's crucial to your well being
like making sales or creating something,
take it seriously enough to keep going with it.

How many blog posts
on being productive
do you need ?

Seriously.

Practice making things happen
when everything is broken.
When the web site is down.
When your computer is acting weird.
When you have no sleep.


But if you know in your heart of hearts
you're stalling for no good reason,
cut it out and stick to the plan.

I love you dearly.
Now get to work. :)
