Writers call it
‘shiny object syndrome.’
We have a plan.
It is a great plan
but it takes time to work.
We implement that plan.
Then we hear about another person
or business
that implemented a different plan.
They started with their plan
long before we started with ours
and they are now succeeding.
So we abandon our plan
and implement theirs.
We do this again and again,
never giving any of the plans
the time they need to work.
And we wonder
why we’re not successful.
Before implementing a plan,
decide how long
you’ll stick to it
before you try something else.
Put that date
on your calendar.
Don’t allow yourself
to jump from that plan
until that date.
Give your plans time
to work.
