"Proper Prior Preparation Prevents
Piss Poor Performance."
-Olde motivational business saying,
MLM
Well you know, if you are well
prepared to do something, you are
more likely to succeed than if you
didn't prepare for it. In life, you have
to go through the beginning steps
before you can reach the finish.
Preparation is key to success. For
instance, would you go on a long road
trip without first: 1. packing up to
leave; and 2. packing food for the
trip; and 3. bringing a road map with
you; and 4. bringing enough money
to buy gas; and 5. checking the
vehicle to make sure it's running
great...etc...? Well, i don't think you'd
like to go on a trip without being
prepared.
So what does preparation entail?
Getting ready to do something means
having a plan, getting the resources
to carry out that plan, and making
sure the plan won't backfire by doing
it right. Performance is largely based
on the plan. It's true. If you have a
plan, and it's a bad plan, but you
execute that plan perfectly, it still
makes for a bad performance
because the plan was bad. No matter
how well executed a plan may be, if
the planning and preparation are
bad, usually the end result will be
bad too. So, don't get caught lighting
a cigarette at a gas station!
So to sum it up, preparation is not
the end all, be all, but it can help you
perform better possibly and it can
improve your bottom line. Be
prepared before you do something
and it can prevent a bad
performance. 7 P's!!!!!
