Having a strategy and a plan for life is important but to get to the life you love and achieve your goals you have to understand the importance of sometimes taking a detour.

If you are able to be flexible and adapt then you will be able to take advantage of opportunities and achieve your goals.

Have a strategy and plan but be flexible enough and understand why sometimes you will need to adapt and you will be able to live the life you love with maximum happiness.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you have goals and targets you know where you are going and what you want to achieve
• The plan is about how you can get there and can change and adapt at various points.
• It’s important to have a plan but also to understand you can redirect during the journey
• The strategy is the guidance that will allow you to take detours along the way without losing sight of your final goal.
• As you progress your strategy, targets and goals will change to ensure continued growth.
• Goals should be aspirational but not unobtainable.
• If your goals are too ambitious it can be demotivating.
• If you are too single-minded you can miss out on opportunities.
• Taking a step backwards and re-evaluating can help you to move forward
• You need to have measurable goals to keep the excitement alive
