What’s the Plan?

Treasure MapIn my Wealthy Writer’s Wisdom course, I teach that you must start at the end before you can even begin to outline you book.  This is a reliable method that helps keeps writers focused, to the point, and thorough.  This isn’t just valuable advice for writers though, it is valuable advice for everyone.  Just as I told all of those who have been attending my Wealthy Writer’s Wisdom breakfast meetings, and as my mentor, Buckminster Fuller told me, you need to have a fifty year plan.  This is the reason that I have been so successful.

Once I figured out what I wanted to accomplish, I took the time to map out how I wanted it to go.  I knew I wanted to be a bestselling author, a successful entrepreneur, and an earth conscious investor, and I planned my life around it.

This is some of the best advice that I could give to anyone who is looking to become Rip-Roaringly successful!  You can’t expect it to just fall into your lap, you need to know what it is!!  You will not get to where you want to be unless you know where you are going.  I knew that Jack and I would sell millions of books, but if I hadn’t been clear about my vision, Chicken Soup for the Soul would never have happened because it was turned down so many times (144)!!

When you have a goal, especially a long term one, it isn’t enough to just want it. You need to plan and take action towards it.  Remember, don’t limit your possibility to what is available to you now!  You can get where you want to be and it helps to have a plan.  Start now, even if you aren’t ready!
