The Power of "Y" Podcast with Yvette Simpson

The Power of Planning


Listen Later

As we approach the new year, we explore ways to make sure we are planning and prioritizing what we want for next year and the years ahead, and take the real steps to make that happen. We delve into what it means to “Plan your work…Work your plan.”


Question Why

Why is it so tough to plan ahead? Even more, how do we do the real work of sticking to the plans we make?


Three Points on Why This Matters

  • Life comes at you fast. There is only so much time, and you can’t make more. 
  • The world needs purposeful people. 
  • Having a plan can release the stress of knowing what comes next.

  • Make a plan. I share why I create 3-, 5-, and 10-year plans for every program or project I build and how I’ve helped others do the same.


    Pour the Glass

    Are you someone who makes plans and leaves it on the shelf? Do you have goals and dreams that have never come to fruition because you didn’t plan for them at all?


    Three Tips on How to Do the Thing

    • It must be your plan, not someone else’s. 
    • It has to be something you are willing and able to do. 
    • When it doesn’t work, you have to be willing to adjust, and maybe even let it go. 
    • Homework 

      As we prepare for the start of the new year, begin to plan and make a commitment to take the real steps to make it come to pass. Don’t let another year go by without living your purpose fully. 


      Encouraging Word

      It may feel daunting, but you can do it. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.
