[Link Fixed] Plan B is for Quitters

Published 1 day ago • 1 min read

Reading Time: Postcard (less than 30 seconds)

Unpopular opinion, but here we go: Having a backup plan is killing your dreams.

I know, I know. Conventional wisdom says, "Always have a Plan B!" But here's the truth, Reader—when you have a Plan B, you're already planning to fail at Plan A.

When there's no Plan B, Plan A tends to work out. If you don't have a backstop or a sugar daddy (or mama), or an exit strategy, when you've only got one direction, it's gotta work.

Why? Because you've got to do whatever it takes. You're all in. No safety net means you figure it out.

This was me. I didn't have a backup plan when I started. No dad to bail me out. No trust fund. Just Plan A and the determination to make it work. And guess what? Plan A worked.

So ditch your backup plan, burn your boats, and commit 100% to what you actually want.

That's when the magic happens. And keep reading your goal out loud 3x/day. (Are you?)

Talk tomorrow,

Honorée Corder.

Reading Time: Long Postcard (less than 45 seconds) I've got another secret ingredient for achieving your goals: Measure your progress. Every. Single. Day. It might seem tedious, but here's why it's important: What gets measured gets done. When you track your daily wins, you build momentum. You see yourself moving forward. You celebrate small victories that fuel bigger ones. I've failed in the past because I didn't track my progress, and I couldn't see that I was actually making progress. I...

Reading Time: Postcard (less than 30 seconds) Yesterday I said, "As you pray, move your feet." Here's what that means: You can visualize and affirm your goals all day long, but without action, nothing happens. Think of it this way: Your subconscious is the navigation system, but you are the driver. You still have to turn the wheel, press the gas, and show up. So while you're reading your goal 3x daily (you are doing that, right?), also ask yourself: What's the one action I can take today...
