To accomplish your goals, you must develop a sound plan. Having the end in mind is important, but Planning is a road map to reaching the end. When traveling you may run into a roadblock and need to take a detour. Don't throw away your plans because of a roadblock, reroute. To reach a lofty goal there will be many mini-goals before you can reach the big one. Plan for the mini-goals that will put you on the road to achieving the goal.
The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. - Proverbs 21:5 NIV
