No Plan B!

We have been taught to be cautious, to always have a ‘Plan B’ just in case things did not go according to plan, to have a back door to escape from so to speak.

In internet marketing we encourage you NOT to have a ‘Plan B’ because to have one means you are not fully committed to your goal, it means you have doubts as to whether you will achieve your dream and it means you will not put in your everything.

Not having a ‘Plan B’ says that you are ready to put your all into your original committment, it means that you are prepared to do whatever it takes to get to the end, that you will face all obstacles and not give up until you have the prize in your hands.

To reach the point where you do not need a Plan B you must have confidence in yourself and your abilities, you must believe with all your being in what you are doing/promoting/creating, you must have support or you may lose hope and you must work actively toward your goal every day.

By not having a ‘Plan B’ you have said to yourself, “I will succeed at this or die trying!” This simple action immediately gives you the will and the determination to forge ahead, you feel the adrenalin kick in and even though you suspect some of that is fuelled by fear, it is not enough to make you retreat because death is not an option.

When your focus is on the desired outcome there is no room for doubt or fear or criticism, the outcome is crystal clear, you can see and feel it and it is sublime! You can now see the steps to take that lead to this clear picture and the only thing to do now is to put one foot in front of the other and move forward. Swat away the flies of indecision, stomp on the tail of frustration, punch overwhelm in the nose and karate kick procrastination into next decade, there is no back door, no ‘Plan B’……

A very old friend of our family used to say regularly, “If plan A doesn’t work, don’t worry, there are 25 other letters in the alphabet!” The problem with that thinking is that there was never any urgency put into anything so the end result was never achieved. In Internet Marketing we like to say, “Do you want to be rich now or never?” The most successful never have a ‘Plan B‘ because they don’t need one! Andy Andrews told a wonderful story which captures the very essence of what I have been saying in this short video below. Enjoy!
