A sports team creates a game plan before every game, filled with objectives and plans for certain situations throughout the game that will lead the team to victory. The opposing team does the same thing.
A lot of the time, each team knows what the opponent expects of them, so they change their game plan to catch the other team off guard. Most of the time, that’s what both teams end up doing.
Some of the most exciting games I’ve played in, my team had to abort the game plan and do whatever it took to win. Whenever the game plan isn’t working, the team shouldn’t panic. You just take what the other team gives you and find other ways to win.
The same approach should be applied to business plans, life plans, any plans. Things might not go exactly as planned. That doesn’t mean you still can’t win. The plan is just the initiator; it’s the catalyst to get things started the correct way. It prepares you for the battle but does not guarantee success.
You must be able to adapt. You must have unwavering faith. You must have faith in your skills and blessings that they can still lead you to victory no matter what. And of course, you must have a good team around you with the same goals that’s willing to do whatever it takes to reach that goal.
