Pause and think and plan

Well, Inspiration for Success is still in kind of stand still mode and so seems to be the rest of my business life, but maybe this is the time to pause and think and plan. And as far as I know a proper plan is one of the major things missing at the moment. And maybe some more realistic goals for the team as I think I lost them with my one million dollar goal. And I can understand they can’t follow me and it may be a crazy goal, but for now, and probably for the rest of (the start of) the project I’ll stick with it. Because the more I follow the Principles of Success as described by Napoleon Hill also the more I understand why it is important to stick to decisions and to write things down. Because indeed, that’s how they can be analyzed, even after failure, or especially after failure. As I know I didn’t make my first goal of one million dollar this month. But at least I know and I can exactly see when I planned it and what was the goal and what actions I did or didn’t do. Or what principles of success I didn’t follow or apply.

So I may be defeated and my goals may seem crazy, but as I understand Napoleon Hill, and many other successful people, well, this is exactly what it’s all about. Stick to the goal and indeed, set sail once more until you reach the goal.

And I started reading again in several books, especially Think and Grow Rich and amazingly I found new things. On all kinds of place the book suggests to re-read chapters later and indeed, it makes sense as I’m starting to see all kinds of details I missed at first (or second or third) time reading. Like yesterday I re-read the chapter on specialized knowledge and it was the first time I understood more the meaning of the word specialized in specialized knowledge. So the principle of applying specialized knowledge is not just applying knowledge. There appears to be a whole world behind this principle that you will only understand after studying and re-reading the book again and again.

And the same thing I experienced with the principle of the Master Mind and now also with organized planning.
