It's funny how a couple of simple things can bring about such a change in attitude and motivation. I'm talking about a comment left on my last post and a change of wording for our short term financial goals; these two simple things have got me really fired up.
The comment, which was from an anonymous commentator, said 'How about doing a bit of a business plan for the B&B in Portugal?'' Simple, why didn't I think of that? Instead of sitting here thinking about how I'd love to run a B&B in Portugal one day, I wrote a business plan for running that B&B; I also documented the steps we need to take to achieve this; so thank you anon, whoever you are, progress has been made :-)
The short term financial goals {the next 21 months} have just had a simple name change; we are now calling these our Financial Action Plan; things we need to action to achieve our goals; action is the main word here, not plan.
I feel really motivated. It's time to take action.
What about you, do you spend too much time planning and not enough time doing?

I absolutely spend far more time plotting, planning and figuring than I should.
ReplyDeleteI often have to give myself a mental shake to remind myself that without LIVING and doing, the planning is rather pointless.
When you open the B&B, I want to be your 1st customer. You think I'm kidding, but I am not!
