Work your plan



Tune in to station WIIFM



Last week we talked about planning.
Planning is great as far as it goes.
But someone has to execute the plan.

That someone is you.

Enthusiasm achieves goals.
Know what motivates you to do what you want to do.
Think about station WIIFM.

That stands for “What’s in it for me”.


Is it money? Prestige? Power? Honor? Glory?
Is it losing weight to feel and look better?
Is it the thrill of doing what’s never done before?
Of going where no one has gone before?
Not just geographically but mentally and spiritually?



Is it the satisfaction of contributing to a cause?
Of finding and fulfilling your life’s great purpose?
Many of our goals in life cannot be achieved alone.
You will need others to help you.
Think now about “What’s in it for them”.
Is it money? Prestige? Recognition? Appreciation?
Sharing your cause? Mission? Life’s purpose?
Whatever it is, recruit those you need to help.
Recruit those with passion and energy.
Energy translates into enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm is catching. It’s contagious.
Get on with it while they are eager to do it.




Plan your work and life step by step.
Put a realistic deadline on each step. And go to work.
