Course Corrections

By Abe Newmeyer, June 16, 2022

Relationships & OthersWork & Business

When traveling to a destination, course corrections are often needed. Whether it’s traffic conditions, construction, or any number of circumstances, the ability to reroute while enroute to your destination is vital. The same is true in life and business.

Before departing, having a planned route is vital. But life happens. Relationships with vendors, family, friends, clients, potential clients, funding sources, and too many circumstances to list may prove detrimental to your journey.

There’s an adage that goes, “People don’t plan to fail, but fail to plan.” I believe this to be a half truth. At some point plans fail. The ability to modify your plans, to not abandon, but amend is what progresses you in your travels.

“Unchanged and abandoned plans are as good as no plan.”

Today, Thursday, June 16, 2022, I am grateful that:

I sent a copy of my pitch deck over to D.C. He’ll take a look and offer his feedback. He’s not me, so the ability to see my blindspots will be helpful.

Jake has provided some options for another venture. I’ll take a look after writing and make a decision. It’s great to have someone putting effort into making a partnership mutually beneficial.

As I listen to my previous writings, I’m reminded of my journey. I don’t believe in resting on my laurels, but it’s cool to remember what I’ve accomplished. What’s better is to know if it’s been done once, it can be done again.

Have you abandoned your plans?

Have you changed your plans before?

How many times will you change your plans before you stop your journey?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
