“Good planning is important; but smart reviewing is vital

💎 Brian Tracy, in his valuable book “100 Laws of Business Success,” writes: It is true that in order to achieve success we must have clear goals and a definite plan, but thousands of factors may change, and as a result we may be forced to revise our plan.

🔹 That is why the most successful individuals and companies are those who are flexible enough to adjust their plans whenever they detect changes in market conditions or elsewhere, rather than insisting on their previous plan.

🔹 Therefore, I always tell participants in my training courses: whenever you feel that your great efforts are not producing the desired results, take a step back, pause, and re‑examine your plan.

🔹 To make this obvious law more understandable—though unfortunately many people fail to follow it—I tell my audience: adopt the mindset of a computer programmer. When the program you have written does not work, do not insist on running it repeatedly; instead, check it line by line to find where the error lies, and rewrite or correct the faulty part.

🔹 Alongside continuous correction of plans, you must also pay attention to another point: a wrong assumption is the main cause of all your failures in business.

🔹 For example, many people fail at the very beginning of their business because they assumed there was a large market for their product or service, while in reality this was not the case.

🔹 Consequently, when you do not reach your goal, review both your plans and your assumptions.
