Measure Twice, Cut Once

By Abe Newmeyer, July 8, 2019

Decisions & Action

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been executing my plan. I developed the plan months ago and I’ve been thinking and plotting and coming up with ways it wouldn’t work and reasons it should. It’s kinda funny how I haven’t had doubts about my actions over the last couple of weeks(I’ve known what to do). It’s also interesting how I haven’t revisited and looked at my plan recently as I’ve obsessed and studied it so much it’s as if it’s a part of me at the moment.

What’s your plan? What’ll make it work? What’ll make it fail? How can you tweak your plan and make it better? How can you get things done more effectively and more efficiently?

Today, Monday, July 8, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’m moving forward executing my plan. Fear and faith can not coexist and I’m moving forward with faith.

I’ve got several individuals whom I value their counsel. I’ve narrowed my circle over the last couple of years. Those unable to assist in the current and forthcoming journey have been removed or replaced. Last night I had a conversation with several in my circle about a perplexing situation and was able to receive objective counsel and input. Based on those conversations I’m able to make a more informed decision about the situation and the manner with which I’ll respond to occurrences and the relationship.

I was able to consult with my circle and hear the message of “you get what you pay for.” I had a friend do me a favor and it didn’t result in anything close to what I’d expected. It was actually totally disportionate to anything I would have expected and I was terribly upset and disappointed at the cost of the results. Had I paid a professional, instead of using the hook-up, my results would have varied and I wouldn't have wasted hours seeking counsel on the event.

Develop Your Plan. Be Impactful!
