20.04.16 | A Good Plan, Violently Executed Now, Is Better Than…
I know the word “violently” is off-putting to some, so feel free to substitute “passionately,” “aggressively,” or even “haphazardly” in your mind instead.
A similar quote you might like is, “Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.”
I still prefer General Patton’s, though, because I never see myself as being in a state of inaction.
I can easily convince myself that all my mental plotting and planning is actually taking action, when it’s really not.
But I can never convince myself that all the gears turning in my head are anything close to actually “executing a plan,” so General Patton gets my butt in gear -- in keeping with his well-deserved reputation.

• About Simple Secrets and its founder, Chris Allen:
Simple Secrets is a profit and growth consultancy based in Asheville, North Carolina, with team members around the world.
We collaborate with a hand-selected group of private practitioners – veterinarians, dentists, architects, and others – to maximize their incomes and allow them more focus, freedom and fulfillment:
What do we mean by “private practitioner?”
Usually, that’s a small business owner who’s earned the distinction of having letters after their name.
Simple Secrets was founded in 2015 by award-winning direct response marketer and entrepreneur Chris Allen.
In the pre-Internet 90’s, Chris developed and sold millions of dollars worth of physical products on radio and TV, then used his same time-tested marketing skills to go 100% digital as the Internet began to mature in 2002.
For over a decade, Chris provided information and consulting services to a variety of Fortune 500 companies, including United Airlines, Saks Fifth Avenue, LexisNexis and The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).
Today, Chris and his team enjoy helping a select group of private practice professionals through his profit and growth consultancy, Simple Secrets, LLC.
